making serendipity look like my site?

[mag00]

I was wondering how to make the blog look like part of my site. I also have the phpbb board which will need the same attention.

http://worldwidewitches.com

Does anyone know where the css file is? I tried replacing a few different ones, but had no effect.

Also I would like to add a "home" button to get back to my main page.

Any help would be appreciated.

I did try the search and didn't see anything I could use, but may have not searched proper terms

Thanks

Hi!

Probably the reason why no CSS file changes happens for you is because you have enabled the "embed" option in the serendipity configuration.

As documented, this option will only output the plain serendipity content, without any CSS or HTML Head code in it. That means your website that embeds s9y (via iframes or whatever!) needs to take care of that on its own.

Because that is the more harder way, I suggest you to:

1. Turn off embed mode

2. Go and edit the CSS file of your template again

3. See the changes. You might want to edit the HTML output of your templates, which is controled by files like "index.tpl" within your template directory.

Also you might want to have a look at www.s9y.org on the Documentation pages.

HTH,
Garvin

Thanks garvin, I'll give that a try, I thought I had to get rid of that stuff LOL.

I'm not sure if I want to embed it in the front page, and after looking at the instructions to do embed it, I will try the css first. I also want to make the phpbb forum look like it too.

Thanks

Well, at least it looks something like the front page.

Probably need to learn alot more css.
