How can I change the appearance of the page dividers? The are simply a long black tab. Can this be changed at all? Thanks x

Hi Ali! How are you hoping to change the menu? If it’s a major color change, you may require the Custom Design upgrade:
en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/If that doesn’t appeal to you, I’m happy to help you find a different theme that suits your aesthetic. Let me know! Thanks.

Thanks, I wondered if they had to be on black tabs? Or could they just be words with the black background? I guess I need to have an upgrade? X

Ali,
If you did the upgrade, you could change a couple things about your menu:
1. You could make the top level menu disappear altogether and add your custom menu links to the right-hand sidebar, instead.
2. You could change the color scheme of the menu. In this case, the menu items will remain tabs. They cannot be changed to text-only.
Do either of these solutions appeal to you? Let me know. Thanks much.

Thank you that’s very helpful and that’s definitely what I want to do, but sadly I will have to save the pennies :-( thank you for your help x

Sorry Ali. Perhaps another theme will give you the look you desire? If you need assistance finding another, let me know your specifications and I can help :)

Ooh I’m nervous about changing the theme! Is there a more girlie theme that you think might work? X

I have to be honest…I think your site looks great as it is.
However, I want you happy! You might quite enjoy this theme:

wow thanks for those….i really like the Matala and Koi themes, is there anyway to see what mine would look like with those before i decide? im a creature of habit! xx

Hey Ali! Yes, you can preview themes.
While you’re logged into your site’s Dashboard, click Appearance → Themes. When you hover over the name of a theme, a Preview button will appear. If you click that, you can check out how your site will look.
I should say, that this Preview feature is not an exact science. If you like the look of a Theme’s Demo, your site can be made to look just like it. If you click the Preview button, your settings won’t be precisely set up yet. But you will get the gist of how your site will look with any given theme.
You can also activate themes, take a look at your live site, change your mind, and choose a new theme. Nothing is permanent.
Let me know what you decide! I like those two themes so much, too. :)

Hiya, I’ve had a look and like the Lovebirds theme, but I’m worried about moving everything over because it has changed my titles across the top and would there be somewhere to put my current header on that theme? I’m not very tech savvy!
Thanks Ali x -
Hi again! As your header currently exists, it would not display on the Lovebirds theme. The replaceable “header” image in Lovebirds is the illustration in the left hand column of the site’s Demo. You could replace that image with one of your own, but the image would have to have the width of 250px. Your current header is 1280px.
Let me know if you have other questions! Thanks :)
