Need Help to Update Sidebar Plugins & Brand Blog!

[traceycrockett]

HELP! I need to update my blogroll but can't figure out where in the heck to do so. Also, I'd like to change the color of the blog, add RSS feed buttons, and brand the blog with my logo.

I'm able to see the sidebar plugins but I can't see the info of where to make the changes.

Thanks.

Hi!

To customize the appearance of your blog, you need to know CSS and some HTML. Have a look at the 'style.css' file of the theme you are using. It seems you are using one of the MT-styles, so check the file in templates/mt-blabla/style.css.

In that file you change colors and font sizes etc.

In the 'index.tpl' file you can adjust the more general HTML construct of your blog. If no such file is present in your template directory, serendipity will use the default index.tpl. You can copy over the file from tempaltes/default/index.tpl and put it in your template directory, so that you will be able to edit this file easily and insert Headers or whatever.

Best regards,
Garvin
