Your blog is nothing if its just the same as everyone else. Unique content is everything and a unique theme needs to go with that. Bloggers shouldn’t rely on others to get their theme.

I'm trying to make the background of the content area white. The background of navigation column that runs down the right side is not plain white (FFFFFF). Rather Photoshop's color picker claims that it's F9F9F9 -- but this isn't anywhere in the style.css file. There is a .alt that has a background set at F8F8F8, but when I change that to FFFFFF, it doesn't help. Where is that shading coming from? many thanks... Hey all — was hoping that someone could clue me in on a total n00b CSS issue:

Where is that shading coming from?

Well! Expected, even if the language didn't include any "bad words" nor low level insult but... As I said there I'm sad that she doesn't use the same criteria that she uses for her designs with what developers did, freely and graciously, to her producing a great product named TextPattern. No one need to release its work but if someone uses the Free Software we expect that, at least, that person shouldn't insult programming developers and that s/he may even be so kind and graceful to us that s/he will make a nice tutorial to help us others with a glimpse of his/her skills instead of bashing us. Too many people that do not undeerstand that Free Software doesn't mean Gratis Software (altough some times it means also that). Posted this here just because she removed a much longer text there and you cannot see anything writen by me if click in the link. At last, I must say I agree 100% with what the author of this post said. Giving is good, specially if we don't care at all in receiving from others too like many designers do. Best, Lopo Hi,

Help someone else that maybe dosn't know how to make a blog theme. However, a quick tip - don't realease the theme while you're still using it. Your blog no longer stands out from the crowd once you do that. Trust me, I know. ;) It is a great idea. Help someone else that maybe dosn’t know how to make a blog theme.

Ideas are everywhere and I posted that originally to be shared and twisted into what works best for who ever saw it. Also I don't think anyone expects you to remember every comment you get when mosts posts average 20 plus. Hell I can't even remember half the domains I own. It's all sweet.
