Graphic for blog title

Postby sjt » 03 Nov 2009, 04:23

Hi again,

Is there any way to use a graphic for the blog title (rather than relying on simply styled text)? I have a background image, but would like to have a stylish blog title with a nicely styled font in a graphics format that I can add drop shadows or other effects to, but would still act as a link as it does currently.

Thanks,

Simon

Hi,
In your Header Customization options you have an option called "Header Foreground Image Type". Set that to "Use a predefined image or logo" and put in the link in the next option.

Brilliant - thanks! I love the theme - great work.

One thing that would be nice would be to have a little frame around images and captions, like on the Wordpress dashboard when composing posts - it just sets the image off nicely. (see attached image).

Thanks again,

Simon

Simon,
The frame is there - it is just that the colors are blended into the background, so you don't see it. If you point me to your blog and tell me what color you would like to define, I can tell you what to add to your "Custom Styles" section.

Blog is at http://www.australianclimatemadness.com/

Light grey (as in the attachment) would be perfect.

Thanks!

Try putting this in the custom styles:

Code: Select all
.wp-caption {
        background-color: #F7F7F7;
        border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
}
