This is a mini guide on how to change the background color of IPB. I am answering this question as a lot of new users that I have found are looking for some quick edit of the background color.

First go to your admin control panel > Looks & feel > %choose your skin% >

On your drop menu button which is located on the far right corner and choose Edit Colours (CSS Easy Mode)

On this page you will find a section called body this section is for the whole content of the page. Under that there is a text box named other css attributes in there there should be a something like below:

background:#FFF

Now to change the color of the background you have to change the #fff to something else. To find the right hex color I recommend you give a visit to colorblender. Once you have found the color, there should be a small field below the color saying HTML #000000 just copy the hex and replace the #fff in the field above.

I have added metadata into minervaseo, atm it is still in its early development.

Even though I said that some of them are useless, a lot of successful websites still uses them so i decided to throw them in anyway.

here is a snippet of the metadata the script generated:

<meta name=”keyword” content=”install, guide” />
<meta name=”description” content=”this is a description” />
<meta name=”author” content=”phpguy” />
<meta name=”copyright” content=”copyright icelabz.net 2004-2007″ />
<meta name=”googlebot” content=”index,follow” />
<meta name=”robots” content=”index,follow” />
<meta name=”identifier-url” content=”http://xxx/content/153/install-guide.html” />

BTW I will continue on the project by next Tuesday as I got a few exams this week.

Hi all, as the exam season is starting for me I will be very busy and will not be able to post all the time or keep to anything i promised.

I am sorry for this but just give me a few weeks and I’ll do whatever needs to be done.

“Most people just want to get in, get it and get out, For them the web is not a goal in itself. It is a tool.”” By Nielsen

That statement just puts everything back to perspective. Think really hard on what you are offering and how users are using and how you would be using your own content. Just think for a day and sleep over it and I’ll tell you my break down of this tomorrow.

here is another screenshots of my current ongoing skin that I am making

I have decided to launch myself in making some skins until I get icelabz running. Some of the skins will be free and some not.

Here is my first in the line:

The above is still in the making, ill probably finish it within the week and pack it with all the psd files to be ready to be released to the public. The skin is mostly CSS than images. It will take on a really dark night theme. Most images that will be on it will be ornated like the background to give it a persian/arab look.
