 * Good Morning,
 * I’m designing my site wordpress.org and I decided to use the subject Cubic because
   it fits what I want for my photography blog.
 * What I have already assembled and almost set but I have two questions that can
   not configure or change them where they could be:
 * 1) Change the footer text
 * 2) Change the color palette directly in the stylesheet
 * Thank you.

 * In what way would you like to change the footer text? If you’d just like to add
   some additional text, you can do that with CSS alone, for example:
 *     ```
       .site-info::after {
         content: " | My copyright info";
       }
       ```
   
 * Don’t edit the theme files directly, otherwise your changes will be overwritten
   every time the theme is updated to the latest version.
 * An easy way to add custom CSS is to install the [Jetpack plugin](http://jetpack.me/)
   and activate the [Custom CSS](http://jetpack.me/support/custom-css/) module. 
   You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in
   your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.
 * As an alternative, you could install a [standalone custom CSS plugin.](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css)
 * If you want to completely change the footer text, you’d normally need to go the
   [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) route to override the 
   text in footer.php, but since Cubic is already a child theme of Boardwalk, that
   isn’t possible here. You can make the changes directly in Cubic, but you’ll need
   to redo them after every theme update, since they’ll be overwritten after updating
   the theme.
 * > 2) Change the color palette directly in the stylesheet
 * You can make colour tweaks by using CSS overrides in a CSS plugin as well.
 * Learning how to target your site’s CSS will help you make certain design and 
   layout changes. Here are some very helpful posts that will help you customize
   your site with CSS:
