Widget colors

[Sharion]

I was going to install the CC Widget or the div-code provided on one of my web pages but for the life of me I cannot get it to display in any other colors but the blue. I don't install anything that doesn't flow with the color scheme so I'm stumped and the blue really clashes.

Tried making my own table and just inserting only the javascript that pulls the articles but it didn't pull anything. I'm guessing that if you don't use the full code with all their divs and built in colors it doesn't work. My sites don't even use div.

Far as I can tell the colors are not editable, as they are actually pulling in images that look like plain text rather than colors I can edit.

Has anybody been able to install it in some way that we can adjust the colors and fonts for the entire entity to match a site? Is there a script that just pulls in the links that we can insert into our own colored table?

I don't know about the colors, but an option to consider is using your RSS feed and feeding your new titles into your site instead of using the widget.

Afraid to even post how badly it's going... trying to figure out how to turn the xml feed into a simple list of links of article titles isn't going well. This is new territory for me, feeds. (I smell somebody reading this about to write an article... LOL!) It just shouldn't be hard to create a simple list of article titles linked to the articles and insert it into an existing web page.

Hmmn, I have a list of titles from the business feed on a Blogger blog. It lists just the title and the date. I fed it into an RSS widget. I'm trying to remember if I did something similar on a WordPress blog and think I did at one point but then removed it once I put up the widget as having both was redundant.

So I don't just embed the code, I feed it into an RSS widget? Okay, I found an RSS widget and it wants the feed url from CC... enabled the widget... and WOO HOO! She works! Thankee thankee!

Final Result: The RSS widget pulled the feed and it perfectly matches the website. Now all I have to figure out is how to get the same result on websites that don't have widgets and php and are just plain simple HTML pages.
