1. I’d like to make my title “INDIA AUTRY” into upper and lowercase “India Autry.” It’s typed in that way in “Custom Design,” but is still showing up in all caps. I found a way in CSS to make it all lower case “india autry,” but that’s not what I want.

2. For the menu bar, whatever page you’re on is highlighted in the menu bar as black and bold, while the rest of the menu bar pages are gray. Is there any way to change the color of the menu bar to, say, turquoise and have the highlighted page show in the menu as turquoise and bold? Or to have it be any color and keep the highlighted page in the same color, only bold?

3. Can I expand the margins of the middle column? I found some CSS stylings to do this, but they made the title and menu bar off-center.

You can use “capitalize” with the “text-transform” property. Here is more information:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/text.html#caps-prop

Here is an example you can add to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor:
```
h1 {
	text-transform: capitalize;
}
```

This example will make the color of the menu item for the current page turquoise in the Manifest theme:
```
#main-nav .current_page_item > a {
	color: #40e0d0;
}
```

Start with this example:

If that doesn’t help, post back here again with more info about what you’ve tried already.
