Description
This tutorial provides the steps to create some colored content boxes to use in our site. You can use it on any WordPress theme or HTML template as we are going to use the simple HTML and CSS method. If you are using the Text Box Tool to add the text boxes you need to bring up the Properties Bar toolbar to make changes to the text such as color, size etc. If you already have text written into the box you need to select it when making the changes. Hope that helps, Dimitri WindJack Solutions, Inc.
