Help!

Yes, you can modify these settings by specifying custom style sheet parameters. To do so:

1. Sign in to Office Live
2. Click on Web Site
3. Click on the Design Site button
4. Click on Design Site in the drop-down menu
5. Click on the Style Sheet button at the top of the page
6. Put a check in 'Apply custom CSS code to my Web site.'
7. Enter your custom CSS in the text box provided

Note: If you don't see the Style Sheet button (in step 5 above) you'll need to enabled the 'Activate advanced design features' from the 'Site Actions' drop-down menu in Page Manager. Click on 'Web site' in the left navigation pane to get to Page Manager, then click on the 'Site Actions' drop-down menu and click  'Activate advanced design features'.

Thanks for the responses. I have already figured out how to add color to the background using css code in the style sheet. The problem is when my product list comes over to my webpage it is placed in a zone and the font is black. I am trying to color the zone black to make my pics stand out but when I do i cannot see my font. Is there a code to change the font in the product list in a zone?

Thank you very much for your help

 Anyone know how to change the hyperlink colors of the sitemap?  It doesn't look good on a dark background with the default is dark blue hyper link.

A super easy way to do this (I did it) is to follow the steps from Sue's "Office Live Design Tips" which I have pasted below. From "Page Manager" select the "Product Details" page and click on edit. Once there hold your curser on the edge of the products module and do a cut, after you follow the instructions below, then paste the module back and the font should mimick the font of the characters you typed.

 Besides the info below you'll find a ton of other great ideas/inspiration by visiting her site:  http://oldesigntips.com/default.aspx 

changing text color

You can change the font color and sometimes the weight of some or all of the text in many of the modules. Type a letter, highlight it and change it to what you want.  a|  Place your cursor directly after the letter and insert the module.  Carefully delete the letter.
