The new looks is great! Glad it works for you!

Two issues here...

First, looks like you created a custom component which you put into your header which contains a link like this:

Code:
<div class="componentText"><span class="componentAboutLink"><a href="http://www.thinkinghomebusiness.com/blog/_WebPages/About.html">
<%= gettext("About") %></a></span></div>


There's actually no CSS class called componentAboutLink (unless you make your own of course), so change that to componentHomeLink so that it will match the look of your Home link.

Next, to change the colors of those header links, add this to your custom CSS:

Code:
span.componentHomeLink a:link,
span.componentHomeLink a:active,
span.componentHomeLink a:visited
{
   color: #FFF;
}


and that will make all of your header links white.

John
I love the look of the template. However, as I've mentioned to you offline, in Internet Explorer 7 is narrower than in Mozilla Firefox. That means I have to spend more time fiddling with the layout of components.

Today, reluctantly, I decided to switch back to one of the standard templates, but could not effect the change.

Would you care to share an uninstall process?

All you need to remember is that anything you add to a 'Custom CSS' overrides the 'Current CSS'.

By adding the custom CSS I gave you to the Empty color scheme, you had a new design because all of those CSS attributes overrode the 'empty' attributes. Just switching to a color scheme won't really change much, since you are still overriding whatever color scheme you chose.

Select all the Custom CSS, and hit the delete button on your keyboard. Now the textarea will be empty. Click the Save CSS button. Now there will be no styles which override the color scheme, and the color scheme you have chosen will 'shine through'.

Thanks John

I do like the template you did. If someone could sort it out to work better with IE, I might well revert to it some time.
