    Got it Clayton, thanks.

    One other question: How to increase the number of “Recent Entries” showing in the left sidebar list. You answered this once before for someone else, but the hack was to change the number in the widgets.php. My theme doesn’t seem to have a “widgets.php” only a sidebar.php and left bar.php, neither of which have the number limit on blogroll, which is currently 15. Is there another .php where I wlll find that number…
    …I was thinking I could also add an “Archive” widget below the “Recent Entries” and somehow list the older posts under that?

    Ok esmi, I always welcome your help, and you post often, thanks.
    You were correct. The problem was, I was loading the .gif by clicking on the “Add An Image” icon in the pots kitchen sink editor, and getting a static image instead of an animated one. Whne I tried it again using the “Add Video” icon, I got the .gif AND the animation. Just something to note in case others ask about this in the future.
    Thanks again

    Sorry to sound stupid, Clayton, but all your last answer told me was how to get into the Appearance>Themes>Editor. I already know how to do that, and how to make changes in the Style.CSS file.

    The change I need to make now must be done in the actual HTML text, which isn’t in the Style file. The Built In Editor I was referring to was a way to edit the actual HTML, not CSS, while still in WordPress, instead of FTP-ing the HTML text file out of my server into a text-editor, making the changes, then FTP-ing it back. I thought there was a place to do that right within WordPress. None of the various php files in the Themes>Editor sidebar show me the actual text, so I can enter a <span> between two words on the same line.

    Is there a place in WordPress to do this or not?

    Note: I know how to split the title color in HTML with a <span> command, I just don’t know where to find WordPress’ Built-In File Editor, the Codex is way out of date, with references to Manage>Files panels that no longer exist in the Admin. Where do you find this Built In editor now?

    Thanks Clayton, found it. One other question, if you please, perhaps a bit trickier:

    My blog Title at http://pianotreasure.com has 2 words in it: Piano Passion
    In the masthead styles I can change font, size, color etc. of both words as a whole title.
    But what if I want a different color for each word, say black for Piano and red for Passion?
    Any way to split the blog title (masthead logo) in two so I can assign I different color to each word?

    No I meant the editing the font, size, and layout of the Post Title text itself.
    When you add a new post in WP, you get a slim box at the top in which to write a Post Title. But there’s no WYSIWYG editor above it like there is for the body content, so I’ve always been unclear how to edit your new Post Title’s sixe, color, or formatting if the title has more than one sentence, like here:

    The PanicAway Remedy Works – Period.
    Stop Suffering And Start Living!
    That’s the 2 sentence title of the 2nd post down on my site. Originally it just showed up as a wrap-around line, with the word “Stop” on the top line and the next line starting with “Suffering”. I wanted two complete, cleanly split sentences like you now see, but I couldn’t figure out how to do that except make the font-size bigger (using the non-refined Header1 – Header 6 choices) until it forced the word “Stop” to appear below the first line. Now the font size is larger than I wanted, but if I reduce it, the word “Stop” will smnap back up to line 1.
    So the overall question is, where to we get to edit our Post Title text, with a certain font, color, font size, whatever we want, the way we can with the body content through it’s editor.

    Thanks esmi, worked when I also deleted it from Pages.php. If I could grouble you to address 2 other questions, same site:

    • how to change the light gray background color behind the main content body and sidebar, can’t find it in stylesheet.css

    • how to choose a different font or font size for same main content

    • how to make font edits or place one line under the other in the Post Title, which of course, cannot be accessed through the content editor

    OK disregard that last post, I tried altering the color # again on the post h1 tag and this time it worked. I honestly don’t know why it didn’t work the first time, WP seems to do that sometimes, makes me alter a tag twice and finally it works:)

    On another note, each time you make a change to a tag in the Stylesheet.CSS and hit Update (which you must do before re-visiting the site to check your change), it always resets you back to the top of the CSS tag page, requiring you to keep scrolling down to relocate the tag you were working on. This gets annoying if you are editing a tag and re-checking the results many times over, like when you’re playing with colors to find just the right one. Any way it can be set to keep returning to the last tag you are working on, even if it’s way down the page?

    Thanks Shane, I tried altering the color on every one of the css post tags that had a color # assigned, made no difference. I tried altering the color # in other tags – there are header, menu, sidebar, content and menu tags, among others – which changed the appropriate places, but not the title.
    If it helps, here’s the page I’m trying to edit:
    http://panic-attack-stop-now.com/

    The line I’m trying to alter is “Stop Panic & Anxiety Attacks Now!”, just over the body text content

    Thanks samboll, but apparently you didn’t catch the word “free” in the first line of my post. Both these links take me to actual sales pages of someone who wants to sell me their templates. With all the beautiful Themes in WordPress’ official collection, all downloadable for free, I can’t believe no one has created a simple one-column static sales or review landing page theme that’s also free. It certainly seems lots of affiliate marketers use WP as their website builder, so how is this omission possible?
