    Yeah I've been tinkering again :) I decided to add a image in the header background. I can change the image every now and then so we can get a fresh look. Or even to match the season :)

    If you have previously selected a different style you will not see the new style. If you choose the style called 'Daffodil' you will see the changes.

    I got it changed too but it is so dark on my computer that I can barely see the daffs. I'll get Randy to look at it this evening to see if he can lighten it up.

    Dark on mine, too. However, I love the content on the Stew so much that I can put up with almost any header background!

    Just to explain why it's so dark. Displaying text on top of an image is tricky if you want the text to be legible. A dark background with white foreground text (the GardenStew logo) is a nice compromise.

    I get this. I'm the Webmaster for my dance studio's website. Took it over from someone else and doing a complete redesign at the studio owner's request. I've been struggling with text over image and getting both to show up in a way that doesn't detract from either.
