  I am trying to change the color theme on my page and the changes will not save. It just says “saving changes” but then nothing happens. I log out and back in and it’s the same it’s always been. I have tried letting it “save” for hours and still no follow through.

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

  nullnullI am trying to align button links (to Etsy and two other sites) along the right hand side on the Welcome (Home) page. Everything looks well in the Visual view. But the update button doesn’r save this layout. The page view shows button links scattered around. Previewing without update shows same scattered buttons.
  Upon returning to edit screen, the buttons are again scattered around , i.e my previous alignment is lost.
  The blog I need help with is lellemoda.wordpress.com

  If you have not purchased the custom design upgrade note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/

  You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

  If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

  To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.
