  Hi… I am trying to use one of the simple color palettes in the color and background customization section. I am using the twenty eleven theme. I do not know anything about coding or css, please can someone help me step by step to use the color palette I want?

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

  Hello!

  It’s alright. Although HTML and CSS can help to add a little extra flair to your blog, you can make it look just as good with your choices of background and the colour palettes :)

  As far as using the palettes goes, it’s as simple as clicking on the one you like the look of. This will present you with 4 colours. If you want to know what each colour relates to on your blog, just click on its circle – from there you can pick something else from the suggested colours, or choose your own.

  With the background, you can choose a solid colour by following the same process under the ‘Background’ heading. If you’d like to use a background image instead, choose ‘Select Image’ and upload whatever you’d like. And be sure to check the ‘Saved’ button at the top of your panel, to ensure that your changes have been applied.

  Hope that’s helpful to start with :)

  Hello :) thank you so much for the helpful reply. I have done all of that already and then I save it but when other people see my blog it is just plain and white and the colour palette I chose has not saved for some reason. I have chosen one of those with 4 colours.
