If you have a Blogstream blog, you can customize the color and font settings for your entire page. We refer to this as editing your blogs "Palette" (rather than a "Template" which would refer to the actual design of the blog page, such as where boxes and text actually appear).
Creating a custom palette is an advanced feature. It uses a simple language called "CSS" (Cascading Style Sheets). This is how most modern websites design their color scheme.
You do not have to be a web designer to make simple changes to your palette. It may seem a little confusing at first, but I suggest trying small changes at a time to see what happens. Try changing the color of one item for example and seeing what happens. Over time you can move on to more advanced changes.
You can edit your blogs Palette by going to "My Account" and clicking on the Palette link next to your blog.
There are two areas in your blog Palette. The "Live" area, which is what visitors see when they come to your blog page... and the "Work" area which is where you can play around and try different colors, font sizes, etc. before making them live.
The first thing you want to do is go to the Palette page and click on "Reset Work Palette to Default". This will make a copy of your current live blog palette and put it into your work area for editing.
Now click on "Edit Work Palette" to begin editing.
