I'm working on making some modifications to the Marvin theme, strictly inside the css files (no way I'm touching php!). My understanding of css is somewhat limited, even after reading up on it. In some ways, it's more difficult when tinkering with someone's code, but I'd rather not try writing my own from scratch. So here are my questions:
1. Is there any way to change the color around the text in the center of the page? (this is a 3-column design, with content in the middle) I can change the overall background easily enough. But a dark color makes the text unreadable. If this were a table, I could simply change the cell color. That's not possible here, so what can be done?
2. The left and right columns seem too close to the center. How can I move them back a little? Also, on clicking the "more" button to read a long article, at 800x600 the screen expands and I get the dreaded horizontal scroll bar. Any way to keep that from happening?
3. I can center the blog title, what about the logo image? It's easy to float it left or right, what about center (or rather, just left of the title)?
4. I can't get a background color to the footer. It's in the style sheet, properly formatted, but doesn't show up when I look in the browser. Speaking of the footer, I notice that it appears just at the end of the middle column, rather than at the bottom of the page. Any way to get it down at the bottom? (the right-hand column is the longest of three, in case that's important)
