and I don't know what is going on !

1) What code do you use to change background color ?
2) What code do you use to change the Gallery box Color ?
3) What code do you use to change the word gallery to Gallery ?
4) How do I get a snapshot of my web page so maybe I can go in and change what I want changed?
5) Do you have more templates planned ?

I printed out lesson 1-3 and will read again as I have a five hour flight tomorrow to Atlanta.

Do you have anything planned so you don't need HTML, I could give a rats A** about HTML ?

Some of the folks do a very nice job, but in my case I'm failing Dummies 1, and I'm lost.

I did ImageEvent in about 30 minutes and it was great, but it is not as classy as your template that I'm using now.

You guys that answer my questions do it very well and you are very, very smart, so to you this is no big deal. But you have a forum on how to and ? that people aren't getting so there is a learning curve and some of us OLDER GUYS are a little slow.

Thank you for your patience,

Chapter 4 uses no html at all. Unfortunately you will not be able to get away without using CSS. So pay attention to the CSS portions of chapters 1 to 3. Chapter 4 gives detailed instructions on how to get to your cobranding, where to enter code, and how to change the background colors and text colors and such. Don't forget chapter 4 for your flight.

And we do have a forum about how to and questions. It's called the smugmug customization room at www.dgrin.com :D You're looking at it!

1) What code do you use to change background color ?

body{background-color:blah;}

2) What code do you use to change the Gallery box Color ?

.gallery .box {background:blah;}

3) What code do you use to change the word gallery to Gallery ?
?

4) How do I get a snapshot of my web page so maybe I can go in and change what I want changed?

I used Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org) and the Firefox Web Developer Tool Add-on (https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=60), both FREE, to figure this out.

5) Do you have more templates planned ?

Do you mean themes? Yes.
