I am changing the template on my music blog, at least I will be if I can finish tweaking the silly template. I've figured out most of my changes on my test blog mel-test-blog.blogspot.com/ but I have two things that are driving me crazy. The first is the RSS icon - I have the picture, but I can't seem to change the default feed to my Feedburner feed address or to delete the code for the icon (so that I can simply insert the one I want) without breaking the template.

The second thing that I absolutely cannot seem to find is the font color for my block quote. I thought I had, but changing the color didn't seem to do anything when I previewed the blog.

If anyone is willing to take a look and help me fix these two things, I'll give you credit on my music blog when I upload the new template. Thanks.

    1-) Find and remove that line from your template code:
    .feed{height:80px; width:72px; background:url(i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/mushblue/rss.png) no-repeat}

    You'r feed image will disappear.
    But the best way is redirecting its link to your feed. So i need to see your template code.

    2-) I don't see what block quote in you blog??

    If I understand it correctly, the feed is set up in this section of the code (I don't know how this will display, but I'll edit it to clean up if I have to):

    Edited to say, "Whoops!" It doesn't display at all. I'll take a screen shot and get back to you.

      I'm resizing. Hold on. [bangs head]

      I should point out that the "widget" box on the "Page Elements" screen has the correct code for the Feedburner info, but that doesn't seem to have changed where the link points on the blog.

      Okay, I think I've figured it out. I just replaced the section after "href" with my FeedBurner code. That seems to have worked. Anyone want to take a gander for the block quote code? I don't see a single thing in there, and I've fiddled with just about every text color setting I could find (that I could identify as such).

    Boo hoo hoo, sob sob! I got brave and flipped it. Now, at not-pop-jukebox.blogspot.com/ my archives don't work and my blog roll and link list got combined into a mess in the top tabs. I fixed the other minor details that didn't transfer, but these are making me crazy.
