help editing floristica theme

  • Im trying to set up my word press blog using the floristica theme.
    most importantly
    I really want to change the flower image at top to a different image.
    would like to change the background color of area where writing is done
    (its white now, want to change to black.)
    and then change color of all subsequent text in column (to tiel or purple)

    would maybe like to change the color of the actual page background too, maybe from grey to a dark mauve.

    Anyway, if anyone can steer me in the right direction, i’ve never really worked with code at all, I’ve been going through it, reading up and am sort of understanding it, but at the same time, not really, haha.
    Would appreciate a nudge in the rigt direction if anyone has the time.

  • look at the theme’s style.css
    that is where the colors will be controlled
    back it up as you modify it for when you screw up :>)

    right click on the header image and view the image’s url – that is where you will want to change it

    I open style.css in the theme editor section of word press?
    thats what i’ve done, this is where the heap of code is throwing me off.

    I think this is the image url

    https://tawdryproductions.com/main/wp-content/themes/floristica/images/body-back.jpg

    So i look for this on the style.css sheet?
    If i had an image on my desktop, how would i route that in its place.

    hate to be a jerk and bring this thing up again, but things seem to move fast here and im moving slow on getting this site up. any help, oh good golly miss molly any help, im lost.

    name your image the same – body-back.jpg
    upload it to same place, replacing the old one
    see if that works

    I dont understand the upload part, i got a web domain, that linked to an online word press editor, this is where im editing, have taken the code and copied into wordpad (so as not to lose anything)

    I assume this is what i have to change

    #root{
    width:780px;
    margin:0 auto;
    border-top:0;
    border-bottom:0;
    background:url(images/body-back.jpg) 0 32px no-repeat;

    but my problem is, say i have an image on my desktop, how do i replace the florista image with that, say my image is background.jpg, what would i type to replace, you say upload the image to the same place, but im not sure what that means (upload it to the internet where the floristica image is, how, the only time i’ve ever uploaded an image is on facebook)
    I really am novice with this code thing, but i can figure all the colors out, i just want these damn flowers out of my life. haha.
