Is anyone available to go into my WP site and tell me how to edit something?

If you look at my homepage, you'll see on the far right-hand side the words 'Home of the' in WHITE.

The guys that built my site did it in a very strange way! The homepage is edited by editing 3 separate blog posts - one for left hand column, one for the middle and another for the text contained within the blue graphic on the right.

The rest of the site is 'normal' and built using WP pages, but the home page is strange, and I have no idea why they did it.

Basically - in this right-hand column I can edit all of the next except the 'Home of the' words in white. I have no idea where these are located or how to edit them - but I want to.

Is anyone available to jump into my site and let me know where I can edit them? You can be sure of a very positive visitor message to your profile in return!

PM me.

Thanks,
James.

    It might help if you let people see your site so they know whether they can help or not because at the moment I myself don't see any reference to it.

      If you have Firefox you can download a thing called Firebug after you download firebug, Go to your website and right click and press inspect element. The bottom half of your screen will show where the files where you can edite. Hope this helps. It has helped me alot with finding the files I needed to edit.

    It is possible to setup WP with a three column layout or let's say three sidebars. anyway the css for all that should be in style.css. Never the less you should be able to apply styles inline where your text is. Do something like this

    Code:
    <h4 style="font-family:Tahoma; size:18px;color:#000000;">Home of the </h4>
    Obviously you would need to change the values to suite your needs. The h4 heading tag doesn't really matter because I've set the size in the style to 18 px. Anyway applying a style in line like this will over ride whatever's set in the style sheet.
