 Hi!

I have a blog on blogs.technet.com and I use there the Kid Kongo Theme.

Now I want to modify my theme (the colors, especialy the background color). My problem is, I am a normal user without knowledge about CSS..

Where can i find a do***entation about css settings and how I can override the CSS Settings in my blog ?

Are there special settings for each theme, are the settings the same for each theme, how can I modify my backgroundcolor ?

Thank you very much

Christian

Hi Christian,

There no special settings. Every user can change a theme; from the control panel, in my blogs, choose Global Settings/Change how my blog looks. On the lower part of the page there is a textbox, that one can enter his custom CSS styles.

The truth is that you should have knowlegde of CSS in order to make the changes. E.g. the following code changes the background color of the page to #C0C0C0 (light gray). You could create your CSS code with Expression Web.

body {
  background-color: #C0C0C0;
}

Is it something simple you want to do, or something more complicated?

 Hi!

Thank you very much, you gave me the hint, I needed...

Now I understand, that CSS described the several sections of the do***ent - in your example body - now I found out, that I can look at the CSS sections if I look in the sourcecode of the do***ent...

Thank you very much, now I have (for the moment) everythink I need...

 How can I add something (image, link or text) to footer of my blog. I only have access to CSS override, I don't have access to the server. 

Thanks for your help!

If you don't have access to the server, then I suspect you won't be able to add text or a link to the footer of your blog.
