All,

I've tried to search the site and figure out on my own to no avail. I'm trying to change the boxes on my site to a specific color. Can someone help??

Thanks in advance,

Mike

My web page is: www.pixappeal.smugmug.com (http://www.pixappeal.smugmug.com), and I want the boxes to be the same color as "pixappeal" ~Thanks!

Andy,

I sincerely appreciate the quick response! How do you find the "code" (?) for the specific colors, or is that covered elsewhere? I want to be able to change the font color in the boxes to the "photography" color.

Thanks,

2 things:

1) if you plan on customizing a lot, get Firefox and the FF webdev tool, both free and both linked in my sig. We have a sticky thread in this forum that teaches you how to use it.

2) I use photoshop eyedropper, drag it from photoshop (have to have a photo open) and onto your web page and sample the color you told me :)

A little trick I learned from Scott Kelby:

I love this place!! I'll check out those tools soon, but not until I completely understand how to use them.

Thanks Andy
