Blog Tips: Changing Colors

Your blog reads hexidecimal colors. They are represented in six digit values. I create these hex colors through my eyedropper tool in Photoshop, but if you don’t have this at your disposal, you can use 2createawebsite.com to generate hex colors. You can copy and paste any hex number {will look something like this: #B14646} with any hex number you have in your stylesheet.
A reminder on how to get to your stylesheets:
For Wordpress
In the admin section, Appearance/Editor, your file might be called “stylesheet.css” or some other “.css” file. If there are more than one, open them all and you’ll be using the longest one.
For Blogpsot
In the admin section, under Layout/Edit HTML, your stylesheet is hardcoded all in one page with the blog. The styles are held at the top of the page between <style> tags {You can also use Layout/Fonts and Colors to paste your hex colors into}.
Your code should look something like this:
h1 {
font-family: ‘Trebuchet’, Arial, sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-size:24px;
color: #333333;
}
**Just to be safe: copy and paste the entire code of what you are working on, into Notepad or Textedit, in case you forget a semi-colon, or something goes terribly wrong, you can put the old code back in a try again. Just a caution. You can’t miss a character or it won’t look correct and may break your page.**
