In WordPress Admin go Settings and then General to change the title from “MY Blog” to whatever you want it to be..

To change the color and font etc…

Go Appearance and then Editor. You should then select “style.css” usually down the bottom of the page on the right hand side but usually automatically comes up as the first page to edit.

Bump

Still doesn’t like it,it comes out on the id 315 page as no posts in your criteria when there is, ive got the correct id’s as i used the plugin that you said.
this is my curent version of the code

<?php
/*
Template Name: news
*/
include"header2.php";
include"sidebar.php";

?>
<div id=pagetitle><img src=https://www.******/*****/arrowsmallpurple1.png /><strong><?php the_title();?></strong></div><br />

<div id=maincontent>
<?php
if (is_page('147') ) {
$cat = array(1,15,55,35,19,16,17,14,13,18,20);
} elseif ( is_page('315') ) {
$cat = array(17);
}

$showposts = -1; // -1 shows all posts
$do_not_show_stickies = 1; // 0 to show stickies
$args=array(
   'category__in' => $cat,
   'showposts' => $showposts,
   'caller_get_posts' => $do_not_show_stickies,
   );
$my_query = new WP_Query($args); 

?>

<?php if( $my_query->have_posts() ) : ?>

		<?php while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
			<?php
			//necessary to show the tags
			global $wp_query;
			$wp_query->in_the_loop = true;
			?>
			<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<div id=news><h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h2></a></div>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
 <h4><span id=news>Written by <?php the_author();?> at <?php the_time();?> <a class="title" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">Read More.... &nbsp; &nbsp <?php comments_number(); ?></a> </span></h4>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<div id=footerbg">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('« Older Entries') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries »') ?></div>
		</div>

<p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div></div>
<?php
include"footer.php";
?>

in addition if this helps this is what
echo "<pre>"; print_r($wp_query->query_vars); echo "</pre>";
shows

I want the code so i can correctly put posts in my pages so that when it shows it doesn’t put in the title the name of the page not the post title and nothing for the excerpt because the pages don’t insted of the excerpt for the post/s.

Still only shows the post as a page

Where is your .htaccess file located?

Just comes up with Error 404 on my article permalinks
