I've tried searching but couldn't find an answer. I'm using the Turbo template but when I modified it to change the background image on the homepage (since replaced it with animation), I couldn't seem to find how to apply a translucent background to the left bar to emphasize and make the menu more visible. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    In Customize:
    Homepage [or whichever section of your site has the left bar]
    Theme/Active Theme/Edit theme (click wrench)/Background tab/

    Scroll down to Site Section Colors, change color of Left Sidebar. the
    "left sidebar alpha" is the transparency level.

    I like what you have done to your site. Beautiful! I have a question for you. How do I place my logo in the web browser in front of my url?

    Thank you!:headscratch.gif
