Know a little CSS do ya?

WELL, then have fun with this! As you know with SharePoint to get corporate branding looks you can create Custom Themes, Master Pages, etc.  Well what about those users that are not server admins, just a site owner?  If you know CSS (Styles) even just a little you can change the colors and fonts on your home page or any other pages you are the Site Owner to. 

All you have to do is add a Content Editor Web Part to the bottom of your page. Then hide the Title and Border, then select Source Code and enter <style> then your CSS custom styles </style> that's it.

What's the catch?  Well you do need to know what the SharePoint Controls Styles are called, that part is hard. But you can right click on a page select View Source, and you can see most of the controls there. Also Heather Solomon has a chart of course. Also this will only apply this style on this one page.  Also it will be slower this way because  it will actually apply this CSS control last, meaning after it loads the styles from Site Definition, Themes, etc.

But this is excellent to show regular Site Owners.  Have fun with it.
