Hi Chez, yes I've looked into prices that's why I ruled out the wormery and tumbler as too expensive. So you think that a box made of wooden slats is not a good option? The lid won't be air-tight so some air will get in anyway, right?

Thanks for the suggestions Chez! Both tumbler and wormery are a bit over our budget tho so I was more looking into a DIY solution maybe

Hello, I was recently offered the management of a shared roof terrace where we are growing some plants, herbs and berries. I would now like to compost our kitchen scraps but the roof terrace floor is tarmac and concrete. I've read that I could use a regular compost bin on a layer of soil but I'm afraid it can get messy? I wouldn't mind building a wooden box but let me know if any of you have better ideas! thanks rick

Fantastic, it worked! Thanks for your help Conor

Hi Conor thanks for your reply. I added the lines you said. I didn't know you can use "white" instead of #FFFFFF. Good to know. CTRL+F5 isn't working but also the blue title in the sliders appeared the next day so I'll wait for tomorrow. thanks again rick

Hello, I would like to change the font colour of the slider in travellikealocal.org. The dark grey text on the slightly darker background is barely visible. Now, I found the section in the CSS related to the slider, and I managed to change, as a test, the colour of the title from white to a horrible blue. However I can't seem to be able to change the colour of the small text. This is the CSS #featured { border-bottom: 1px solid #ffffff; background: #000000; height: 300px; overflow: hidden; } div.slide { height: 300px; position: relative; } div.overlay, div.top-overlay { background:url("images/dropshadow.png") repeat-x bottom left; bottom:0; height:22px; left:0; position:absolute; width:100%; } div.top-overlay { background:url("images/top-overlay.png") repeat-x bottom left; top: 0px; height: 43px; } .slide .description { background:url("images/overlay.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent; float:right; height:276px; margin-top:6px; padding:18px 68px 0 50px; width:342px; } .description h2.title { font-weight: bold; font-size: 36px; padding-top:3px; } .description h2.title a { color: #ffffff; text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px #000000; } .description h2.title a:hover { color: #eeeeee; text-decoration: none; } .description p.tagline { font-size: 14px; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-style: italic; color: #4f4f4f; padding: 7px 0px 4px; } .description p.tagline a { color: #4f4f4f; } .description p.tagline a:hover { color: #7c7c7c; text-decoration: none; } .description p { line-height: 19px; } .slide a.readmore { background:url(images/featured-readmore-right.png) no-repeat scroll right bottom; display:block; float:left; height:31px; line-height:32px; padding-right:11px; color: #ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #0080bd; margin-top:8px; } .slide a.readmore span { background:url(images/featured-readmore-left.png) no-repeat; display:block; padding: 0px 4px 0px 15px; } a#prevlink, a#nextlink { position:absolute; bottom:-2px; right:0; height: 40px; text-indent: -9999px; display: block; z-index: 1000; } a#prevlink { right: 80px; background: url(images/arrow-left.png) no-repeat; width: 81px; } a#nextlink { width: 80px; background: url(images/arrow-right.png) no-repeat; } I was sure that the line to edit was this: .description p { line-height: 19px; } Which I changed as follows: .description p { line-height: 19px; color: #ffffff; } but with no effect on the live site whatsoever. Any ideas? thanks! Rick

Great show, getting better with a stronger plot each episode. Penguin is my favourite, and I'm sorry to see how the Fish character, blessed by such a good actress, has lost a bit of shine and credibility in the script. Is it only me not being fully convinced by the guy playing Gordon? I find him a bit dull, quite far from the image of Gordon I have from the comics...
