    Ummm.. I didn’t mean to scare everyone off. There are like a thousand other posts, except mine.
    I really need some help. Once I learn this stuff I assure you that I will giveback to the form.

    Am I missing something?

    Take care all,

    Juan

    Start with a simpler theme and setup. WordPress is easy if you don’t try to learn it all at once. There are alot of people out there who make a living from designing and building WordPress sites, getting help in this arena is going to be tough.

    I suggest looking through your CSS files under Appearance->Editor->StyleSheet

    You should be able to change the background there. Some of the store bought themes are actually tougher to use than the free ones.

    Also I suggest installing “minimum essential wordpress plugins”. If this is more than just a hobby.

    Thanks a lot pkenjora. Really appreciate it. I have to use this template and I know it is going to be a log road.

    I was more looking for links and places to find ways to start learning all this….

    Thanks a lot. Take care. Anyone else?

    peace
