Your site and footer looks quite nice. Did you find your answers?

 

In case you didn't, to make these type of customization edits, you need to learn how to tweak your CSS. Firebug for FireFox is the best tool to capture the styles. And you can tweak within a DIV too.

 

I'll try to answer a couple to get you going, but it looks good.

"change the background color of just that section of the page? Then I could change the fonts to a lighter color????"

 

Matt, the bottom Instant Ad Box is contained within this ID: #xg_ad_below_footer - - but no wonder you're asking. I'm sure what's going on with your site (I found it, link next time would be good). I cannot get the styles to work even if I add to top of your CSS. So not sure what to tell you. This works fine everywhere I try where an Instant Ad Box is installed, but not on your site - - using red just as example to change background color:

#xg_ad_below_footer {background-color:#cc0000!important;}

The best way to change the fonts is to wrap all of the footer content in a DIV. And write the styles for that DIV.

<div style="font-size:12px;color:#000000;">your content</div>

 

To make the Instant Ad Box fill the width of the site gets tricky. Because in most cases you will find that your box will float to the left. I usually use this:

#xg_ad_below_footer {width:100%;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;}

 

Best Regards,

Jen

Matt,

Please don't start multiple discussions, had me confused for 10 minutes. I'm not sure which you'll want to keep. I assume this one since it's under the Support Group, and I provided detailed help. I am closing the one under forums.

 

I will answer your question from the other discussion below.

Here was the question: "Is there anyway you change the color of links in a particular section? Like if I wanted the links just in the Ad Box to be a different color... Is that possible?"

Change the Link Color for the bottom Instant Ad Box:

#xg_ad_below_footer a {color:#003366!important;}

 

Best,

Jen
