• Hello!

    I just imported my blog to https://retroheather.com from https://howtobeawoman.net & installed The Morning After WordPress theme. I’m loving it! (Using WordPress 2.7)

    1) How do I change the default image padding?
    The usual methods have not worked. Here is the style.css. Any help would be appreciated. So far no luck getting an answer at https://themasterplan.in/talk/ .

    Also,
    2) Any way to change the formatting of the block quote so it appears where placed other than over on the right hand side?

  • Hey there,

    I love this theme…I’ve used it for a long time now. Best advice I can give is to use Firefox and install the Firebug plugin.

    Open Firebug, click inspect, and start running your mouse over things. You’ll see blue borders open up around the different elements. Click on something you want to investigate. You’ll then be able to see all the CSS rules that are being applied to the element and change them RIGHT THERE without breaking anything. If it goes totally crazy, refresh and start over. No harm done.

    Once you get something the way you like it, make note of what you changed and the name of the style THEN go into WordPress and modify your CSS.

    Happy Hunting

    Thank you so much, bekabug! I’m so excited! That sounds like an amazing tool. I’ve added the plugin & now I’m going to mess around with it. If I’m able to master it my life is going to get much simpler.

    I appreciate you taking the time to respond and to help. That was very nice of you. Have a great day!
