      I could not get the CSS chANges to work nor could I find them.
      Am I supposed to use the master CSS that was given to me.
      It appears that none of the given information is in the editor. It all seems to revert to information from SodaCoca.

    Your site is not in the best shape. If you do not know HTML/CSS, consider using a ready WP template. You can get good one for free on WordPress.org. You can also search it through your site.

    The text on the home page would be easier to read if it was white, not gray.

    I just looked at your website. It's hard to navigate it and understand what's going on. I recommend you install a different WP theme. Also, your graphics can look a little more professional.

    If you don't know how to install a wordpress theme, you can outsource it for cheap. Your graphics can also be done for cheap also. Check out fiverr.com. That's where I get my graphics from.

    I see a lot of affiliate links on your site. Good job trying to monetize it, but remember that you need to have a site that looks clean and professional. People just don't like to visit "Joe's First Webpage" anymore. They want a clean website that's easy to navigate.

    It is actually a WP theme from SodaCoca. What makes it hard to navigate?

    I know the text should be another color than grey but I don't know how to change that.

    open up master.css and go to line #831

    change color: #616A81; to something a bit brighter like white color: #FFF;

    Try this .

    With your FTP software, browse to /wp-content/themes/CarBodyKits/_assets/css/

    and open the file master.css with a code editor.

    Search for this line #main .next p

    In there change the color decleration.

    I'm not sure if this is just how the page is loading in my browser but there is a lot of space around your scrolling image container. If you took that and the red bar under your header out, the site would line up a lot better.
