What i'm about to post might be clear as mud as we say here in the states. I'm no css guroo but this will work. Good luck.
Ok. to change the theme 1. go to appearance and then go to the theme you installed or uploaded to wp-content/themes the folder must not be a sub folder when you decompress it. So it must have under the folder the stuff for the theme and not a subfolder 2. activate said theme and 3. edit header.php and footer.php to suit your needs. If you want to make a child theme 1. duplicate that theme and call the folder what ever you want. 2. edit style.css and include below the star symbol at the very bottom template: twentyten or what ever your parent theme is called Here is an example of the child theme I edited for the twentyten theme /* Theme Name: Twenty Ten child theme Theme URI: http://wordpress.org/ Description: This is a child theme so I don't have to make any modifications every time I have a theme update. Template: twentyten License: GNU General Public License License URI: license.txt Tags: black, blue, white, two-columns, fixed-width, custom-header, custom-background, threaded-comments, sticky-post, translation-ready, microformats, rtl-language-support, editor-style, custom-menu */ */ @import url("../twentyten/style.css"); <style> <!-- BODY { font-family: times,times new roman; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-variant: ; font-size: medium; text-align: justify; color: #FFFF00; background-color: #FFFFFF; } If you need any help then go to the wordpress site and search for child themes. and remove the function.php from the child theme or it will error out when you try and activate it.
