help with homepage

[pdoran]

I've been poring over posts trying to find an answer to my problem, but with no luck so far. I am trying to create a very simple homepage, and so far everything is working great, except the following:
I either want to hide, or change the color of the black box around my slideshow- this reads as div .boxTop and div .boxBottom when I look at my element information- is there an easy way to hide or change the color of this box?
Also, I have an "email me" link in my footer that I would like to move so it lines up under the rest of my page.

Thanks!

Add this CSS:

#bioBox, #bioBox .boxTop, #bioBox .boxBottom {background:none;}

You may also want to remove the bgColor line from your slideshow definition in your bio and let it be transparent so the gray background shows around the edges instead of the white.

found out how to center the email link, will try the box fix next.
Thanks

The box tip works great- thanks. The white background on the edge of the photos is actually part of the image, as is the gray border immediately surrounding the image. This was done for display purposes- looks great and no mat needed.

Peter A few of those white borders look kind of odd like this one:

agreed- still tweaking some of the images. So one last question if you don't mind- I am very close to the look I want- I let the boxBottom show, but with a different color, and hid the boxTop. So now I see a thin white line on the left border of the slideshow- the element info shows the two boxes in question as having a width of 749px- should that be changed to 750, and if so how?

Thanks

Thanks The width difference is only because there's a left border on a couple elements that you need to turn off. You can do that with this CSS:

#bioBox .boxBottom, #bioBox .boxTop {border:none !important;}
