A change of theme

Posted by: admin In: blogging|css|web development

I decided it was time for a change of theme. I know I’ve only had the blog going for a couple of months, but I’ve not been entirely happy with the look of the site since the word go.

The old “Almost Spring” theme was OK but not quite what I was after. The new three column layout is based on Fluidity3c 1.0 by Kaushal Sheth. The only real change I’ve made so far is to the header image, and replaced the <h1> in the header with an image.

I still need to tidy up the lists in the side bars for some reason the list items are squashed on the left hand side, so that needs sorting. But overall I’m much, much happier with the site’s look.

Hi Claudia,
If you are changing the CSS in an external editor then you will need to FTP your changes to the the theme’s folder on your server. In this case “/wp-content/themes/fluidity3c-10/”.

What I tend to do is log in to my wordpress dashboard and click on Presentation > Theme Editor. I select the style sheet from the list then copy and paste the contents of the style sheet in to notepad. I make the changes in notepad, then copy & paste back into the wordpress themes editor and save it.

Hope that helps.
