Maintenance

I'm trying to change my template around which is proving difficult given that I know practically nothing about HTML. Rather than use the Blogger-provided template I have been continually adapting an old template to suit my various changes and now I'm stuck with two page elements whose color I cannot find to change. I bet you can guess which two! Anyone who knows how to find the overall background color and the color of the little navigation bars, feel free to comment and be my hero.

And yes, I recognize that yet again I have chosen a banner image that makes reading the text on top of it difficult. I'll get around to that eventually. For now...oh well.

Edited to add: well, that didn't go so well. I might have to leave it like this until I have more time to tweak back to what I wanted.

Edited again to add: now it just won't let me make any changes to the template at all. Oh joy. Or rather, the changes apply but only halfway so it looks like the ugliest mishmash in history. Sorry about that.

Edited yet again to add: after much frustration I've gotten it kind of back to where it was and I intend to leave it this way until I can figure out a top-down redesign. This whole experience has been exceedingly frustrating and yes, I am a moron for not saving my existing template before fucking with it. I know.
