  Hi,
  I want to purchase Gridiculous for WP.com. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. I only have one quibble and want to know if it’s something I will be able to change: the sticky post format has hard to read white lettering on gray background. Is there a way to change the format of a sticky post so it’s just plain black text? Do I need to buy the customizer upgrade that lets you change fonts and colors? If so, will I need to learn CSS to do so?
  Thanks,
  Jana

  Howdy Jana!

  That’s definitely possible via CSS. You’re correct – in order to make that change, you would need to purchase the Custom Design upgrade shown here:

  However, you don’t necessarily need to learn CSS! I’m happy to provide the code for you. Just let me know once you’ve purchased the upgrade! Just a note, you can also activate a free 14-day trial just to make sure you like the theme and the upgrade prior to committing.

  Thank you so much! So Gridiculous is $69 I think (a one time cost) and then the custom design is $30/year?

  Hi Jana,

  You’re exactly correct on the prices. The theme is $69 (one time) and the Custom Design upgrade is $30/year. To activate the trial, just navigate to Dashboard -> Store -> Store and click “Try Now” as shown here:

  Hi Jana!

  You can start with this and let me know if it achieves the look you’re going for:

  #featured article a {
  	color: #000;
  	text-shadow: none;
  }
  
  #featured div.entry-content p {
  	color: #000;
  	text-shadow: none;
  }
  
  #featured div.entry-meta a {
  	color: #000;
  }
  
  #featured div.entry-meta {
  	color: #000;
  }
  
  #featured time.published.updated {
  	color: #000;
  }
  
  #featured h3.sd-title {
  	color: #000;
  	text-shadow: none;
  }
  
  #featured .rating-msg {
  	color: #000;
  }

  Just copy all of that code and replace everything under Appearance -> Customize -> CSS once you get the upgrade.

  Let me know if that works!
