A wonderful homeschooling mom and author left me a comment with a suggestion on how to change the blog to lavender. Find the background color area in the template, erase what is there and type in lavender. Sounds easy. I tried that and all of my text disappeared. So I typed in purple and the text returned in purple. Whew, getting there. It’ll be Lent by the time I figure this out so the purple will still work.
Sometimes it’s the easiest solution that is the best and it takes someone else to point out the obvious. I was struggling with HTML language, it never occured to me to try the actual color.
Oh, no! I’m sorry! The different templates must work differently and of course I’m not savvy enough to find the spot on your particular template that will work. Sigh. Sorry about the bum steer. :-/
p.s. Thank you for the wonderful comment about the Christmas essay.
