Sorry, please disregard the changes in the above post. This is an updated post to the one above.
I was mistaken. I keep forgetting about the wide layout and the responsiveness as the background doesn't always show especially as I've been working on a smaller screen.

I looked closely at the demo of the Metro Theme. I have it reversed.

The background (in the demo its the city) should be cream #F5F1E5. (The text/copy is fine as  there is  padding around it)

1. The area that all the content is on should be white like in the Metro Demo. How do I change that background outside of the content to be #F5F1E5 ?  (I can change the area under the content back to white)

Thanks! Sorry about that.

Thanks so much asdweb! Much better.

But I guess I didn't realize that the background behind the posts changed to cream as well.  I'd like to create a white background behind the posts and images on the Home page (Home Area) as well as the pages when you click on each post. The right sidebar and footer are fine with the cream color behind them.

Example on the Home page would be White in the width from each end of the rectangle with the diagonal lines (i.e. Featured Story and News & Events) down to accommodate the posts. Which I guess also means I'd have to add a little padding/margin to the sides of the of the text boxes so the text shrinks in a bit.

While I'm in there, on the Home page can I also Move the Titles to the above the images and under the Story line Rectangles/rules? People were complaining that they need to see the title first to decide whether they would read the post.

How would I do these?

I really appreciate your help!

Hi I've been having the same issue. I can't change the background. I've been just trying to change the background color to #F5F1E5 and nothing happens.

Also my header was cut off. I couldn't make it 1080x87 because it repositions my logo and cuts it off. I resized it to around 600x100 so I could at least see the full logo .

Also how do I reduce the white space above the header? I would like to make the background and the full header the creme color #F5F1E5.

Thanks,

Deb

Hi,

I'm trying to add a PinIt Pinterest button to images in my posts in the Metro theme. I have these directions for creating the code below.

1. create a file named single.php and place the code you see below.

<?php add_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'pinterest_share_button', 5 ); function pinterest_share_button() { /** Horizontal */ printf( '<div class="pinterest-button"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=%s&media=%s" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal">Pin It</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script></div>', urlencode( get_permalink() ), urlencode( genesis_get_image( array( 'format' => 'url' ) ) ) ); } add_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'pinterest_share_button_after' ); function pinterest_share_button_after() { /** Horizontal */ printf( '<div class="pinterest-button"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=%s&media=%s" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal">Pin It</a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script></div>', urlencode( get_permalink() ), urlencode( genesis_get_image( array( 'format' => 'url' ) ) ) ); } genesis();

2. Save the file and upload it to your child theme’s directory on your server.

Question: I haven't done this before. Where do I find the the child theme directory? Is it when I select Genesis -> Import/export  ??

I see a Metro Child Theme: Theme Functions (functions.php) file I can edit and add this code to it. If I can add it here instead of uploading it where is the best place to add it?

3. then add to the css file

.pinterest-button iframe { margin: 10px 0; }

Also once I add this pinit button will Pinterest automatically see my images? Right now when i try to use the Pinit button in my browser it doesn't see any images in any of my blog posts.

I would appreciate your feedback.
Thanks!

The tutorials from w/in the Metro/StudioPress Link. I figured it was so new I'd stick to that. But it leaves a lot of meaty info out. I just started my blog so a lot of this is new to me. I know a little html to get by.  Have tried other themes but it was taking too much time and didn't like the results. Overall I really like the Metro theme. Very clean and with automatic signup forms in sidebar and below the post 🙂
Just trying to decide if I should make the font size a bit smaller. But I think I'll wait. Thanks for the tip on the H3. I only have 2 posts up so it will be an easy change. Have to add. I've been in a few other forums from other themes. You were the quickest to respond. I appreciate that!

Brad,

Thanks so much. This is a great resource. Much more thorough than what I was using.

Thanks Brad,

Any particular reason you use H3 for subheads?

Deb

I had a question as well in regards to Font sizes and H1 tags in the Metro theme. After reading Gary's post I want to verify something.

The H1 tag is automatically the Title right? (want to be sure for SEO purposes)

If I wanted to change the H1 font size I have to edit both pixel & rem values.

For the subtitles/subheads I would select H2, etc..

Just want to make sure H1 is the title. If I select H1 for the subtitles the font size is the same as the title.

Thanks,

Deb
