Changed Text Color and Lost Header Picture In Misty Template
-
Hi – I changed the font color in the Misty template and now I have a big white hole where the former header image used to be. I tried pasting the url of the back in but still, nothing. I tried to restore the original misty theme and still you cannot see a picture. I either want to be able to upload the picture (ideal) or do something w the open space, i.e. pulling up the rest of the blog. I am not sure what to do – all I wanted to do was change font to pink =) and now I screwed this up. Very novice to CSS – exact code is appreciated!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Do you have the custom CSS upgrade? If so, did you paste the entire CSS stylesheet into the CSS edit window? If you did, then you end up breaking all the relative links to images in the CSS and any images will disappear.
Paste only the specific section, and only the specific declaration you are changing into the edit box, and then make sure “add to existing…” is selected before clicking “save stylesheet.”

Also, once you get and start using the CSS upgrade, you can no longer use the custom header uploader. What you have to do is to create your header images in the exact size required for your theme, upload that image to the media library, get the URL of that image and then put it into the proper place in the CSS.

I do have the custom upgrader and copied and pasted the whole thing into the CSS edit window. So only edit the text colors within the orignal code? I don’t know how to get back to the original template, i tried to repaste it in but it doesn’t help. How do you upload to the media library and what code would I need to add to the Misty theme? Or, can you help me just reduce the blank space where the header picture was supposed to be and just have no picture or maybe just add a line?
Thanks so much for your help! All for pink letters… good lord

By the way – do you know how I can get back to the original theme Misty so I don’t copy and paste? it doesn’t seem to allow me to…

Delete everything from the CSS edit box, click “add to existing…” and then click “save stylesheet” and it will return it to the original.
If you return to the original stylesheet, and then follow the examples in the link I gave you to make your changes, your originally uploaded header will be there and stay there.

Perfect! All is good, thanks Sacred Path! FYI to anyone else wanting to modify misty, I just added a:link, a:visited {
color:#XXXXX;
}and the color I wanted and text color modified and I was still able to use the custom header uploader. Found colors for text on this site:
