background color and image framing on tumblr Options

[threelinesorless]

hey guys,

newbie here. i'm trying to make two adjustments to my tumblr blog: http://threelinesorless.tumblr.com/

1) if you'll notice, some of the frames of the photo posts are larger than the photo themselves. i'd like to have the frames match the size of the picture.

-i know very little about html. i've tried different solutions that i've found around the web; namely playing with the scr image width/height, which seems is only affecting the photo, not the frame.

2) also, i'd like to be able to adjust the color of the different sections of the blog--the color adjustments aren't available for all sections of the blog on tumblr's customization panel.

-if you'll notice, there is a very light blue color on some of the sections. i tried plugging in different color numbers into all of the available spots in the html, but none of them did anything.

i've checked here for more info, but i still can't get it to work: http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/custom_themes

i've attached the code.

any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!

-jared

You're working with HTML, but it's mingled with Tumblr markup, and it's the Tumblr markup that appears to be the problem. For example:

CODE

<title>Example Title</title>

is HTML, and:

CODE

{Title}

is Tumblr markup, and:

CODE

<title>{Title}</title>

is HTML and Tumblr markup combined in a way that is common for Tumblr themes.
