  Since changing the background to black on my blog-comments, except mine, cannot be seen.
  Where is the html on the edit sheet to change the colour of the text?

  Thanks,

  In your style sheet there is this:

  .comments .commentlist li (line 392)
  {
  list-style-type: none;
  list-style-image: none;
  list-style-position: outside;
  margin-top: 10px;
  margin-right: 0pt;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  margin-left: 0pt;
  padding-top: 10px;
  padding-right: 10px;
  padding-bottom: 5px;
  padding-left: 10px;

  You need to add in
  color: #ffffff;

  the ffffff will give a text colour of white.

  You could also do with doing something about the size of the white box in the comment box. I see that you have used Adam’s (sunburntkamel) png file:

  background-image: url(http://sunburntkamel.files.wordpress.com/2006/08/comment-textarea.png);

  I see it needs to be 250px high, but I can’t figure out how wide it needs to be.

  HTH!

  Hi thanks for quick reply-I’ve sorted it out. Not sure about comments box issue. That’s the way it appears on the template,

  Hi again, now my comments are in white type in the white box and unreadable. How do I get rid of the box?

  Did you delete the test comment I made earlier? I can’t find it, or any post with a comment on it.

  Sorry, remove the white box from the comment writing screen?

  In textareacomment:

  textarea#comment (line 794)
  {
  background-color: transparent;
  background-image: url(http://sunburntkamel.files.wordpress.com/2006/08/comment-textarea.png);
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-attachment: scroll;
  background-x-position: center;
  background-y-position: center;
  }

  take out this line:

  background-image: url(http://sunburntkamel.files.wordpress.com/2006/08/comment-textarea.png);

  Collin,

  If I may butt in, since you’re telling her to take out this line:

  background-image: url(http://sunburntkamel.files.wordpress.com/2006/08/comment-textarea.png);

  She doesn’t need to add the rest of the properties, since those are for the background image. So, if I may suggest, it’d be better if she uses this code:

  textarea#comment (line 794)
  {
      background: transparent;
  }

  Thanks devblog, visions – did you try just removing the background url?

  Also, try removing the whole entry for textarea#comment and see what happens.

  Hi I did that and the whole blog went askew-maybe I havent got the right html lines?
  I had wanted to close off comments before, unselecting the options, but that
  didnt work. However the comments are closed off now, which is ok.

  Hi, I’d like to get this sorted out-since I changed the html so other comments
  besides mine can be seen, now mine are not visible because of a white block.
  Is there anyone who knows how to sort this out? For a comment test, try the
  tag for “books”,where there are some comments.
