Hello Pixel Post heads :)

My name is Joey, and I have been doing reading on design about Pixel Post but I am not able to find my question so I started a Thread.

Here's my question, Is it possible to completely change the front image of Pixel Post. Meaning like can I incorperate my own design as opposed to the templates available on the site??? Not that there is anythign wrong with the templates on here I think their fantastic, I am currently using one on one of my sites www.injoeface.com just haven't updated it in a bit.

I just want my PixelPost to have the same theme, style & design as my site www.PumaTalk.com

How do I do that? Do I just edit the CSS & Images? Can someone give me some pointers please.

All the best,
Joey Dee :)

templates are simply folders with html files in (and normally css files too). so if you have knowledge of html etc then you can modify image_template.html and other *_template.html files quite easily.

however, we are stretched enough with our time as it is so we can't really offer you lessons in xhtml and css so if you're not experienced with it then have a read here: http://forum.pixelpost.org/showthread.php?t=741

Hello again :)

OK so have a look what I did now the only problem is at the top where it says PumaTalk....

www.PumaTalk.com/photoblog

I used the template SUGAR there was a PSD file so i edited only the header and put my own. Somehow it shows like a shadow form of the image

here I have uploaded both files.. tell me what im doing wrng is it the CSS i need to fix??? I have no idea why its not showing the colors

Sugar Header original: http://www.injoeface.com/image-header.png
My Version Header with color: http://www.injoeface.com/MYimage-header.png

Thanks again,
Joey Dee

Ahhh I figured it out... It's the color fade, the color fade on the mine is lighter which is making it look like that. Uhmm...But im not sure how to match it exactly now the grey black. any suggestions?
