NO, I know that I need Firebug, like I wrote before I already got it but the problem was that you wrote that it should be like this: .blogentry12435 .header {color} (and I know that the number has to be the numbers for my entry I did it)
but it was not write it should be like this: .blogentry12435 .header a {color}
yes, it has to be like that, but those numbers won't work. If you give me a link to your blog and tell me the entry u want to customize I will give u the numbers

Those numbers were an example and won't work. YOu need Firebug to find it (and Firefox.. not IE. If you have Google Chrome it has a built in thing)

You'll need Firebox to find what class the blog entry is, like in the video [IMAGE] And it's only for blgos, sorry ;)

Craig can we remove the blog details on only one post or does it only do it or them all? i remember a way where its like your computer out you go like desktop/file/otherfile/program but i forget how to do it in CSS and i think that may work with this well
You can yes, using this technique. In fact I did it in the video.

thanks, it is really awesome vid.
but I still cannot change color just one blog entry, cause what you showed here the blogheader color it changed every entry, but if I want just one entry?
You need to do the

.blogentry12435 .header {color}

That's an example, you'd need to get the exact class for that to work.

And where is this CSS Editor? Because I couldnīt do it like you show in that video right click on the blog entry and you have a list of options and then you clicked and opened the window on the bottom of the screen. Thanks[IMAGE]

GO to the Template Editor and click "Advanced" tab
You do not need Firebug
Hover over the video and click HD to see what I type

Will this also take out the "posted by . . ." for all the other blog entrees?

No, you'd need a different class. Try this class:

.blogPostDetails
