  Hi,

  Okay, I was able to change my header and my background image but how do I change the color of the page?

  It is still a bright pink and I need it to be a gold/autumn color to match the new header and background.

  Thanks for your help and your time! :)

  Please don’t use ALL CAPS. It’s shouty.

  Do you have the CSS upgrade?

  I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I did that! :)

  No, I don’t have that.

  Thanks! :)

  Not all themes here have customizable background colours.

  I’d suggest Optimizing your images before uploading them. They are taking forever to load for me. So optimize them for the web to no more than 72dpi and re-upload them.

  I can’t get the details of that theme to open, for some reason, but it says right in the theme description “pink” so it may well be encoded and not changeable.

  Thank you! I am not tech savvy at all so I am looking at changing the theme all together. I am bummed since it took me forever to finally find the header and background I want.

  Do you suggest that I just change my theme so the page will be the color I want? Find one that will support my header and background?

  Thanks again! :)

  First I suggest waiting a few hours to see if one of the more theme-savvy volunteers can help you.

  Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate your time!

  I just found another theme that worked with the header and background I wanted. It’s not exactly perfect but it is actually a lot better to see and to read so I think it will work out for now.

  Thanks again and have a nice day! :)
