I'm totaly fresh in using b2evolution, and not especially advanced in html either.

I browsed the forum, and found how to remove the calendar, remove the border.

What I need someone to help me with is

1) Get the background Black, both the background on the blog itselvs, and the border/backpage. I also need the text to be in white,so it will be readable in that background.

2)I would also like to remove the "syndicate blogg" features, and the 4 logos on the bottom (not the powered by b2evo logo, that I need)

Any other suggestion in how to make my page better, will also be appreciated (I'm using Dreamweaver, is just beginning to learn html code, don't undersstand php, so pls post code to paste if you have any suggestions to me)

Thanks
Arne (AKA taxman)

To remove the "Syndicate this blog" go through _main.php (in the custom skin folder.... or look for _main.php in your admin panel (under "template") and delete the following:


<div class="bSideItem">
		<h3><?php echo T_('Syndicate this blog') ?> <img src="../../img/xml.gif" alt="XML" width="36" height="14" class="middle" /></h3>
			<ul>
				<li>
					RSS 0.92:
					<a href="<?php $Blog->disp( 'rss_url', 'raw' ) ?>"><?php echo T_('Posts') ?></a>,
					<a href="<?php $Blog->disp( 'comments_rss_url', 'raw' ) ?>"><?php echo T_('Comments') ?></a>
				</li>
				<li>
					RSS 1.0:
					<a href="<?php $Blog->disp( 'rdf_url', 'raw' ) ?>"><?php echo T_('Posts') ?></a>,
					<a href="<?php $Blog->disp( 'comments_rdf_url', 'raw' ) ?>"><?php echo T_('Comments') ?></a>
				</li>
				<li>
					RSS 2.0:
					<a href="<?php $Blog->disp( 'rss2_url', 'raw' ) ?>"><?php echo T_('Posts') ?></a>,
					<a href="<?php $Blog->disp( 'comments_rss2_url', 'raw' ) ?>"><?php echo T_('Comments') ?></a>
				</li>
				<li>
					Atom:
					<a href="<?php $Blog->disp( 'atom_url', 'raw' ) ?>"><?php echo T_('Posts') ?></a>,
					<a href="<?php $Blog->disp( 'comments_atom_url', 'raw' ) ?>"><?php echo T_('Comments') ?></a>
				</li>
			</ul>
			<a href="http://fplanque.net/Blog/devblog/2004/01/10/p456" title="External - English">What is RSS?</a>

	</div>

It should be near the end, a little past "linkblcg"...

And to remove the four buttons at the bottom, delete:


	<div class="center">
		<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer"><img style="border:0;width:88px;height:31px" src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-xhtml10" alt="Valid XHTML 1.0!" class="middle" /></a>
	
		<a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/"><img style="border:0;width:88px;height:31px" src="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/images/vcss" alt="Valid CSS!" class="middle" /></a>
	
		<a href="http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=<?php $Blog->disp( 'rss2_url', 'raw' ) ?>"><img src="../../img/valid-rss.png" alt="Valid RSS!" style="border:0;width:88px;height:31px" class="middle" /></a>
	
		<a href="http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=<?php $Blog->disp( 'atom_url', 'raw' ) ?>"><img src="../../img/valid-atom.png" alt="Valid Atom!" style="border:0;width:88px;height:31px" class="middle" /></a>
	</div>

That should be near the very end.

...Hope this all helps!

Thanks..That did do the work.

I got a little feel about the coding, but don't want to f..k it all up with deleting stuff i really don't understand.

OK - next project, remove those referenses (latest referenses and top referances). Anyone??

at the same place as you found the 'syndicate this blog'

remove

<?php if (! $stats) 
	{ ?>
	
	<div class="bSideItem">
		<h3><?php echo T_('Recent Referers') ?></h3>
			<?php refererList(5,'global',0,0,'no','',($blog>1)?$blog:''); ?>
	  	<ul>
				<?php while($row_stats = mysql_fetch_array($res_stats)){  ?>
					<li><a href="<?php stats_referer() ?>"><?php stats_basedomain() ?></a></li>
				<?php } // End stat loop ?>
				<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('blogstatsurl') ?>"><?php echo T_('more...') ?></a></li>
			</ul>
		<br />
		<h3><?php echo T_('Top Referers') ?></h3>
			<?php refererList(5,'global',0,0,'no','baseDomain',($blog>1)?$blog:''); ?>
	   	<ul>
				<?php while($row_stats = mysql_fetch_array($res_stats)){  ?>
					<li><a href="<?php stats_referer() ?>"><?php stats_basedomain() ?></a></li>
				<?php } // End stat loop ?>
				<li><a href="<?php bloginfo('blogstatsurl') ?>"><?php echo T_('more...') ?></a></li>
			</ul>
	</div>

	<?php } ?>

it is very simple.
If you see something that you don't want, go look into _main.php of the skin that you are using.

Look for a line that is similar to what you are looking for and read a bit the explanation in the file.
You mostly will see what bunch of codeline are together.

Easy way to not fsck things up, you back up your skin (blogfoldernamethingthere/skins/custom) then try deleting random (well, not so random) parts of it and see how it turns out. :D

Hopefully I will succed in my efforts.

Thanks to everybode for the input.
