ah bah, nothing to be ashamed about; programming isn't everyone's strength, and we all have our own idiosyncracies and mental blocks. also, there is no reason at all why anyone should need to program in order to use an art site; this is just a temporary stopgap measure until the designers and programmers come up with a better way. it's a shortcoming of theirs to not have done this for you, it's not your fault! tell you what; give me a screenshot of a site that does colours and font sizes the way you like them, and i make your CSS for you.
