Hello :-)
Is there a way I can change the load order through the Dashboard Editor, so that the parent theme does not override my edits? (wordpress.org/support/topic/parent-theme-overrides-child-theme) In the meantime, I implemented your suggestion about including the changes with the body elements, but the delay is definitely noticeable. (I know you can number the elements in the load order you want, but I'm not sure where I would put this in the expound theme code.)
Changing the navigation color, for example, would be easy enough to change through the dashboard editor, except I haven't been able to find the area where this is located. Can I only access the navigation, font attributes, etc., through ftp or is there a way I can edit it through the dashboard editor? I can usually find all these elements easily in other themes, but this one seems unique.
Thanks for any help you can give.
