upgrades for 99 package
-
Ok and one last question…for now :) on the forever, can you change the color of the drop down menu bars? I don’t care for the black I prefer just the text and boxes for the test…but I know that probably isn’t possible.
-
Yup—you’ll be able to have those sidebar widgets on your blog pages on either theme.
Regarding Forever, it would take a few lines of CSS code to change the dropdown menu color. Since it is a relatively simple change, I’m happy to help you with that too if you go that route.
Cheers!

that sounds perfect and if I don’t like it then I can purchase the photographer and try that, but I think forever will work perfectly. so what do i do do transfer all my files over to that one?
-
All you’ll need to do is visit the Forever page at http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/forever/ and click Activate while logged in.
All of your pages, files, etc will still be present, though you may need to tweak the menus, widgets, etc. The theme’s page also has instructions for some common customizations (the fancy homepage being one).
Since the default is a sidebar on every page, you will need to visit your pages to change the template to Full Width. On each page, that can be found just under the blue “Update” button on the right in the Page Attributes area.

awesome, I will try to work on that today and get it all done if I can. Thank you so much! I will probably let you know when I am done and maybe you can do something with the munie buttons :)

OK I have most of it switched over I think. I was hoping for a box outline for the follow me on the blog page…sure does look like alot of text. Anyway, can you change the menu buttons to just white (when you hoover it is black)? And is there a way for the tag like to be just on the front page and not on any others (I believe it’s just on the blog). And is there a way to make the background a dark gray instead of the white? So many changes and questions…Bad thing with me is change is hard :)

Howdy Kristi,
Try adding this to your custom CSS available via Appearance->Custom Design->CSS:
.widget_blog_subscription { border: #000 1px solid; padding-top: 5px; } #access ul ul { background: white; } #access ul ul a { color: black; border: none; }You can change the color (either the #000 in the border option or the link color in the menu “black”) to any color you’d like. http://www.color-hex.com/ has a nice drop down at the top of the page where you can select the color and it’ll provide the hex code (something like #123456) that you can use.
The site description (tag line) unfortunately isn’t something we can change. :-(
For the background, do you mean the immediate background behind the text or the background colors on the side?
-
thank you the box worked great…I just deleted the tag line on the blog…I hate it can’t be on the home page…i lived that about the bliss theme.
how can I change the menue buttons? :)
I figured out the background once I poked around a bit.
tell me what you think about it so far…
-
I’m not quite following what you mean by the menu buttons? The rules wouldn’t change what the menu items (in the navigation) does when it is “hovered” over, which personally I like since folks know what link they’re on.
I like your site. It’s classy.
-
we talked before I switched over and I said I didn’t like the hoover buttons on the menu being black, I liked the look of the ones on the theme bliss because the weren’t boxes they were just the text. You said that would be an easy fix you could do for me. Maybe you misunderstood the intital question I had. I really hate the bulk of the black buttons.
-
thanks I’m glad you like the site…I was afriad I was making it look cheesy…but classy is what I was going for :)
-
Ah, I’m understanding now. I thought you meant the initial boxes; not the hovers too. I apologize.
Can you add this to the Custom CSS area and let me know if that does it for you?
#page #access li:hover > a { background: white; color: black; }That would, in effect, negate any hover effects originally designed into the theme.

Thanks for everything. I think I am done messing with it for a while. Time to step away and look later :)
You have been great and I truly appreciate it!

can you tell me how I can load yoast plug in into my website…I can down lad yoast but I dont know how to get it into workdpress. Someone suggested I do that and increase my seo(?)…sigh!

Hey Kristi,
We don’t allow third-party plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons, but we already have baked-in some extras to help with SEO. Yoast is a great plugin for self-hosted WordPress.org sites, but we take of that for you.
Here are a couple of articles we wrote about SEO on WordPress.com:

is there anyway to make the “because your image is everything” on the second line? I tried to put spaces to puch it to the next line but it didn’t work.
great articles, thank you very much!
-
I’ll admit, this is a little bit of a hack, but it works for your theme :-)
Visit your Appearance->Custom Design->CSS page and add this code to the bottom of what’s already there:
#site-description { width: 97%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }Basically, that reduced the width of the description by just a tad, which is enough to break the lines where you’d like, while adding equal margin to both sides so it stays centered.
Cheers!
