HI, I love the iblog theme and just got it today. A few questions to get me started: 1) where do I change the following colors (I assume in the style sheet, just not sure where): - background color of whole site - color of nav bar across top of site -color of nav bars on sidebar boxes - color of text in header/subheader -color of text on nav bars (both main and sidebar) 2) how do I activate/add-in/create a page with the rotating image box that is on the home page of your demo - I really like that 3) how do I activate/add-in the carousel? 4) how do I activate/add-in the little icons that are on the top right of the demo - facebook, twitter, linked in, etc. thank you so much - this is going to be great! Pam

Are you using our iBlogPro theme? or the free iBlog theme? If you're using the Pro version, follow these instructions. If not, let me know so that I can give you free theme specific questions.

1) where do I change the following colors (I assume in the style sheet, just not sure where): - background color of whole site

You can set this in the 'Appearance > iBlogPro Options > Display Options' panel.

- color of nav bar across top of site & -color of nav bars on sidebar boxes

There's currently no option to do this; however, if you'd like the artwork we can send you it to alter the color.

- color of text in header/subheader

Enter this into the custom CSS Code field found under the 'iBlogPro Options > Custom Code' panel:

#blogtitle a {color: ****}
	#blogtitle a:hover {color: ****}
	#blogdescription {color: ****}

Enter the hexcode of the color you'd like it to appear in place of '****' (i.e. #ffffff is white).

-color of text on nav bars (both main and sidebar)

Add this to the custom CSS Code field:

#nav ul li a {color: ****}
	#sidebar a {color:****}

2) how do I activate/add-in/create a page with the rotating image box that is on the home page of your demo - I really like that

Create a page and set the template to Feature Page - Standard in the page editor. Edit the feature page content in 'Appearance > iBlogPro Features'. If you'd like it to be set to your home page, go to the'Settings > Reading' panel. Select static and set the front page to the page you just created.

3) how do I activate/add-in the carousel?

Create a page and set the template to one of the 'Carousel Page' templates. Make sure have the flickrRSS plugin installed and activated. Edit the flickr settings in the 'Settings > flickrRSS' panel.

4) how do I activate/add-in the little icons that are on the top right of the demo - facebook, twitter, linked in, etc.

You can set all of this in the 'iBlogPro Options > Media Options' panel. That was a long post! Let me know if all of that was clear. If anything wasn't be sure to let me know!

Oh wonderful - thank you so much. I had not installed iblog3 pro properly, so wasn't seeing a lot of the options. I reinstalled and now things are a lot clearer. thanks so much!

Hi, is this still the case with changing the navigation color? If so, could someone send me the graphics in #ff99cc. I'm using iBlogPro. Thanks a bunch!
