on the home page, where the article's show previews, i would like to create a background for them to organize them a bit. I know it's possible because vb.com's blog system has something similar, look here to see what im talking about - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/blog.php

Notice how the first four blogs have that nice blue background around them? Then the rest show up and it's ugly and plain as sin. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

The First Four are "Featured posts" also have the star.. thats why they have that.

I have done Article backgrounds on the CMS on my site..

Go to www.gamergodz.com

Change style to Testing Style and tell me if that is what your looking for talking about?

I probably will not check back here so if that is what you want PM me.

There is no 'testing style' in your forum.

Fixed.. It was not User Selectable.

Yes, that's kind of similar to what I was thinking about - except I wanted to the style to be more like the vbulletin "featured posts"

Doesn't neeed the stars, just the background and feel of it.

It is not difficult to figure out. I highly suggest you use Firefox if you do not and learn to use the FireBug add on. It reveals all of the CSS code n a site. Find a site that you like a particular item on, firebug the code and then use it on your site.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
