  i’m considering a new blog design and like the style of adelle. I’m not planning to buy the custom design upgrade but will I be able to remove the dots at the top or change any of the colors of banner/text etc? I read that I can add a custom header but didn’t see it in the preview. I assume i’ll have to reestablish that and my text widgets?

  thanks in advance I’ve only had one theme since I started so i’m not sure how this change over to a new theme works!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  a) No, you can’t remove the dots without the Custom Design upgrade. You can change the color of the blog title and tagline in Appearance > Header. The rest of the colors can’t be changed without the upgrade (except text in the content of a post or a static page or a text widget).
  b) Each theme has different header image dimensions; when you switch to a different theme, you have to insert a header image anew.
  c) When you switch between themes that have a similar structure, the widgets you had added remain in place. When the new theme has a different structure, your widgets move to Inactive (in Appearance > Widgets), and you can drag them back to the sidebar or other widget area of the new theme.

  @justpi
  I was able to remove them by uploading an image as a background. I created a white image in Paint that is 1040 pixels x 250 pixels and saved it as a .png. Then uploaded it as a background image and it worked – the spots are gone.

  Ah yes, my bad. The dots are a bg image, so setting your own bg image will remove them.
  (The image doesn’t have to be 1040×250: if you only want to hide the dots, you upload a tiny image and you set it to tile.)

  I can’t seem to upload a picture in the image widget. I have created an image URL via photobucket, but whenever I click to save, it disappears. Has anyone had issues with this?

  @justynaczekaj: Please correct your username link – the blog linked to it doesn’t exist.
