Hi all

Just joined up, been using Drupal for a simple blog project for a few months and like it lots, so want to learn more.

I have picked up a couple of projects where I want to use the Drupal Theme "Marinelli" but want to change the background and the menu colours to something more suitable. Everythign else fits nicely, and I have a mate doing my ftp stuff and hosting.

I have no coding experience at all, but am a very quick learner.

I have downloaded a CSS editor on trial, and have tried to change colour coding on the items that I think are relevant, but seem to have made changes that have made no effect on the site itself even though I am sure I uploaded the edited file.................. lol

Where I fall down initially, is I don't know what terminology on the stylesheet refers to which aspect of the site.

If someone with a heart could perhaps spend 10 minutes with me to give me a clue - I will pay for the phone call (if we can't use some other chat tool) and provide a few beer tokens - then I would be eternally grateful and you would be worshipped as a Drupal god!

To give you a little background - no sob story - I am recovering from brain surgery, and am doing a few bits and bobs trying to get on with a few websites and blogs, have just hit a brick wall with this.

I have tried doing some reading, but the erminology fails me at the moment.

Your help and kindness would be amazing!

Thank you

Chris
