  Hi

  how can I insert a frame around the text on each page so as the background within the frame is the set colour and the background outside the frame is an image (perhaps pixelate)

  thanks

  Hi Fran,

  Firstly, you can set a background image via the Colours & Backgrounds panel of the WordPress.com Customizer.

  Next, you can use the following to set the background to your site’s main content via the following custom CSS:

  #primary {
      background: #FFF;
  }

  You can change the value of #FFF to any HEX code of your choice. If you’d like to experiment with different colours, try a few Google searches to get a list of HEX codes and their corresponding values. Here’s an example of a site that I’ve used before:

  http://www.color-hex.com/

  Let me know if the above helps you to achieve what you’re after or if you have any further questions.

  Hi F,

  Can u also tell me how I can put an arrow on the home page to make sure that my user will scroll done to the panels

  It would be tricky to add an arrow using CSS only. The theme also has the navigation on the right to encourage visitors to scroll through each section.

  Is the existing navigation not prominent enough for your liking?

  Your colleague suggested soundcloud and I made it but I don’t want to see the whole music player I only want to see the button pause play

  The SoundCloud short code is currently the only way to autoplay music on your WordPress.com site. If you can point me to where you’ve added it to your site, I can let you know what your customisation options are.
