  Hi I currently have a blog on my website which you can see here. The blog is entirely HTML dependent and I have to copy and paste chunks of code and upload the updated soruce file through an FTP programme. I have a wordpress blog with custom CSS and I want it to look AS SIMILAR AS POSSIBLE to this blog. Same font size, font colour, alignment etc and if AT ALL possible, the same header and links at the top of the page. Please help as I am finding it very difficult to do this! Thanks!

  Yup, you’ll find that hard. Try the CSS tutorials in the sticky thread at the top of the forum to get an idea of what you can go. You should be able to customize the header, font and alignment, though I don’t think you can set up the links in that way. Try using a text widget and then formatting that to look like a menu.

  OK so so far I have managed to sort out the header and main body text’s font (look here: http://hatemailblog.wordpress.com/ ) but I’m still having trouble changing the font/size of the post title and post date/time.

  Ideally I’d also like to:

  -Remove the sidebar completely
  -Remove the blog time
  -Remove the “posted by… in category…” etc

  Any help much appreciated! Thanks.

  .sidebar {
  display:none;
  }

  #entry-meta {
  display:none;
  }

  I’m bad at remembering when it’s # and when it’s . so if these don’t work, try swapping.

  ok the sidebar has gone but the header is no longer centered! also the “meta” tag hasn’t done anything and I still need to change the blog title and date fonts! thanks in advance

  Something else you should know is that the background of your blog defaults to the setting of the computer (mine is pink). I imagine you meant it to be white.
