Hi Cory, I really enjoyed your blog and appreciate all you do for the posterous community. I downloaded the Tabby theme, since I really like the way you use tags and make them look as pages. That's REALLY COOL!

Anyway, I know nothing about HTML or CSS and want to ask how do I change the background color on "Tabby" as well as the header background color and the font colors for headers and the main text. I don't like the grey background and white text?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi George, to change the background color, you're going to want to look for this part of the code:

body {
background:#525452 url(http://themes.corywatilo.com/tabby/bg.gif) repeat-x scroll 0 0;
color:#333333;
font-family:Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;
font-size:11px;
}

You want to change the numbers that say: #525452 - that's the hex color for the gray I used. Here is a list of some colors, along with their hex values, that you might be able to use.

As far as the header background color, that's a little more tricky because it's saved in graphics. What color combo are you looking for? If I get some time, maybe I'll upload some color variants as complete themes that you might like a little better.

I just started using Tabby - it's really great, enabled me to consolidate all my blogs to one site but still keep it organized by theme.

Is it possible to control the order of the tabs/tags?

Thank you

Nope. Tags are placed in order of most used. Once Posterous releases page support, you will be able to have control of the order, but they haven't released this feature yet.

Hi Cory, i wonder if i can only change the header font to another because when i change the font in this part:

body {
    background:url(/themes/bubble_siege/bg.jpg) repeat-x fixed top center #022d4f;
    color:#000;
    font-family:"Lucida Sans","Lucida Grande",Tahoma,"Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica;
    font-size:.875em; /* 14px */
}

It also change my article font. So is it possible to change the font of header line only?

[Cory Watilo]

To change the header, you want to find the right selector to pinpoint it for the header section:

#page_header h1 {
font-family:"Lucida Sans","Lucida Grande",Tahoma,"Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica;
}

Something like that. Not sure what the right class or ID name is on that theme...

Oh, thanks So, How can i change my description and my post font? Oh, and 1 more thing. I tried to change my article font into tangerine but it always show the serif font. Why is that???

[Cory Watilo]

There are a limited number of fonts you can use on the internet (unless you are well-versed in CSS). This article does a good job of explaining what fonts you can and can't use: http://www.w3schools...bsafe_fonts.asp

Is there anyway so that, instead of the tabs displaying the tags of your space, they'll display the pages/links?
