  In http://cowbellcoaching.com/ using Twenty Ten I want to flip the colour scheme but can’t find which part of the code relates to it.

  I want a totally black background (I’ve done the bit under appearance/background) – body and sidebar, and all the text white.

  Ideally I’d also like the same scheme for everything above the body and sidebar also – header, tagline, and black right across either side of the header image. I have the code to change the text in the header and tagline to white but not the background to black.

  Thanks again
  Lisa

  Just missing one thing (and I still can’t determine what’s what in the CSS – this is a great exercise for feeling a bit slow!)… changing the title of posts and pages from black to white.

  Give this a try.

  #content .entry-title, .entry-title a:link, .entry-title a:visited {
  color: #FFFFFF;
  }`

  Gaaahhhh! I forgot my opening code tag. Copy and paste this instead.

  #content .entry-title, .entry-title a:link, .entry-title a:visited {
  color: #FFFFFF;
  }

  It was the ‘ at the end that threw me for a second, but I managed to figure that out at least!

  Thanks a million for all your help thesacredpath and timethief – saved me a bunch of time!

  You are welcome.

  I use the backticks to post code here in the forums and I missed the opening backtick on the first code.
