Customizing my blog header.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hello, my blog theme is twentyten. I like to customize the outlook. I don’t like the black lines around the header image, and also my adress in the header is black how can I change the color of that? Also I like a different color as background but full page, it gives me only the chance to put color around the page as a lining. How do I change that? Any pro advices? Thank you folks

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

    There is no free way to do what you have listed. You will require experience with CSS editng and the annually renewable CSS upgrade and then you will have to do the CSS editing yourself.

    If you have CSS editing experience, you can get the paid custom CSS upgrade and renew it annually. It will allow you to stylize the appearance of themes you find here > Appearance > Themes, but it does not allow you to change the functionality, by editing the underlying template. It does not allow you to remove footer links to the theme designer or to wordpress.com. Also note that CSS is theme specific, so you cannot use the CSS stylesheets from other themes with the themes here at wordpress.COM.

    Since there is no official Staff support for the CSS upgrade, and precious little Volunteer support, I recommend that you don’t buy the upgrade unless you have at least moderate understanding of HTML and CSS because you must be prepared to do the work on your own.

    If you are considering purchasing the upgrade, you can go to Appearance > Edit CSS. There wordpress has provided a preview function where you can try before you buy.

    If you do purchase the upgrade be sure to read this article before starting your editing > http://csswiz.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/if-you-have-the-wp-com-css-upgrade/

    Also note that what I have posted applies ONLY to free hosted wordpress.COM blogs. If you are not clear on the differences between free blogs from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM and self hosted installs from wordpress.ORg then please read this very carefully.

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
