about 10 minutes after i sent my question i found in the readme.txt the size of the .jpg for the sliders.

Hi there;

First off thank you for a great template. I've never used one before and it looks great.
Second I really apologize if this question has been asked and answered a million times before, but have been reading over the support thread and my eyes have blurred LOL
I would like to change the color of the side boxes and the header navigation from the rust red to something else.
I assume this is done in the stylesheet but I don't know which code to change. Newbie to Zen.

Thanks in advance
Karen

The parts you want to change are images. What I do is download them edit and overwrite them keep same size and re upload over the existing image while I keep a un edited image in a secondary file in case I mess up. The files you are looking for are in includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/images. You can right click on your site in fire fox hit page info then click on the media file and see all the images, names and paths on your site. Hope this helps.

Hi again
I'm baaack. It's been so long LOL
Ok, I'm going to play with the buttons later for changing colors.
I found a tutorial to remove the Twitter and Facebook links from the footer. But now the copyright right line is crowding into the links above. Here is my site so you can take a look
http://bride-azzled.com

I don't know if it matters or not, but in the tutorial it says to look for this code in the stylesheet

<div id="social-media">
<a href="<?php echo TWITTER; ?>"><img src="includes/templates/a_pink_boutique/images/twitter.png" class="twitter-image" alt="twitter link" /></a>
<a href="<?php echo FACEBOOK; ?>"><img src="includes/templates/a_pink_boutique/images/facebook.png" class="facebook-image" alt="facebook link" /></a>
</div>

In my stylesheet this code shows as this ( div is span )

<span id="social-media">
<a href="<?php echo TWITTER; ?>" target="_blank"><img src="includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/images/twitter.png" class="twitter-image" alt="twitter link" /></a>
<a href="<?php echo FACEBOOK; ?>" target="_blank"><img src="includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/images/facebook.png" class="facebook-image" alt="facebook link" /></a>
</span>

Help?

And while I'm here I have another question .... I'm trying to locate where to turn on Tell A Friend. I found a tutorial where to look in Admin/Tools/Design Layout or something ( I forget off the top of my head exactly ) but I don't see anything there. I found the buttons in images.
Was something missed in the install or am I finally blind ?

Thanks again

If you post a link to your site, I can take a look.

This has been removed in version 1.5 so if that is the version you have installed it is why you can't find it.

I found a tutorial to remove the Twitter and Facebook links from the footer. But now the copyright right line is crowding into the links above. Here is my site so you can take a look
http://bride-azzled.com

In your stylesheet_footer.css file change this:

#siteinfoLegal {padding: .5em 0 0;font-size: 0.9em;text-align:left;width:80%;line-height:normal;clear:both;color:#000;margin-left:50px;float:left;margin-top:-20px;}

to this:

#siteinfoLegal {padding: .5em 0 0;font-size: 0.9em;text-align:left;width:80%;line-height:normal;clear:both;color:#000;margin-left:50px;float:left;margin-top:0px;}

Thanks,

Hi Anne

Thanks for getting back with me.
Ahhhh, that explains on the Tell A Friend. Thought I'd finally lost it LOL
I changed to code as you said and it moved the copyright line down out of the links above.
I was wondering, is there a way by chance? to have the line move lower? I played with the px number but couldn't get it to go any lower.
Oh, by the way .... I live for your tutorials. Thank you soooo much for having them. Gigantic help
