I have gotten a lot of emails from the youtube tutorial I did for aprilbyshirley.com on various tips and tricks to making this useful (but cumbersome) theme work!

One of the most common is how to change fonts and font colors in the theme.

Fonts and colors can be changed in the CSS file. Before editing PHP or CSS files always make sure you have the original one on your computer in case you mess something up. Because if you do the whole site will crash and you will need to log into FTP and replace the damaged file with the original.

You can either download the css file from FTP (root>wp-contents>themes>emporium>and find the custom.css and style.css files) then download them and open and read style.css on how to edit custom.css. do not edit style.css.edit using notepad (not wordpad or any other program)

You can also edit CSS files in WordPress go to Dashboard > Appearances (side bar) Editor (drop down) it will take you to the theme editor. On the bottom left you will see Styles with style.css and custom.css. Click on custom.css and edit the parts you want. I would suggest making one change and (update file) then look at the site. Then keep going. That way if something goes wrong you can download the damaged css and know what to fix in notepad then re-upload and continue where you left off.

Editing CSS is very fickle and tedious, especially if you are not experienced, so you have been warned.
