Newbie question -- my first attempt at customizing

Post by jocelynaz »

Hello ~ I am new to s9y and a beginner with php have a question regarding where to find the coding to customize how the links and headers appear. I know this is probably a super easy question but I've been trying to find the coding for a while now and I've run out of patience. LOL!

I am using the Andreas00 template and want to change the font size/color and links color on my right side bar. Where is the coding on that? I've looked on style.css but don't know which ones I change.

Thank you for your time and patience with what is probably an easy question! :D

Warmly,
Jocelyn

Hi there

you could try adding the following code (with your values) to your style.css file. You could put it at the end of all the #Rightsidebar styles

Code: Select all

#RightSideBar h2.serendipitySideBarTitle {
font-size: your_size;
color: #your_colour;
}

#RightSideBar .serendipitySideBarContent a:link {
color: #your_colour;
}
Hope that helps

Thank you, Dave! It worked!

Just curious...why would I need to add this code? Wouldn't there be an existing code for me to just edit?? :?

Hi
I'm not sure as this isn't one of my templates.

Carl Galloway converted it from an Andreas Viklund Open Source template so I guess he's tried to ensure that he stayed true to Andreas' original code.
