Newbie help! Additional formatting options
#1
Hi all,

Im building my first website and have next to no knowledge of html or any coding at all, and think GetSimple and its themes are great for someone like me! I've created the basic structure of the site using the Artton theme and just need to finish adding all the content and personalise a few things.

Thats where you knowledgeable people come in! There's a few things I want to be able to do to my site (located here http://tinyurl.com/7smqhqu) which Im sure would be easy for you guys, so maybe you can tell me what code to put and where to put it to acheive my desired output....

Firstly, I want to be able to replace the text links on the rhs of the footer with small icons (facebook icon, @ icon and phone icon). I can source open-source versions of these from around the net hopefully and upload them to my images directory of the getsimple folder structure via ftp if necessary.

Second, I want to add a 'contact' form to my contact page so they customers can fill it out and I'll receive it via email.

Finally, I want to be able to add a custom background to the whole website with the exception of the header and footer. This may or may not work depending on my background, but I'd like to experiment with it. I will have the background as an image file and can upload it to the getsimple image directory when its complete. I would also like to experiment with replacing my company name font in the header with my company logo instead which already contains my company name. I am still waiting for the image file of the logo from my designer but I will upload it to my getsimple image directory when I get it. I would also like to remove the 'published on: date' section at the bottom of my pages too!

If anyone can help me with any (and hopefully all!) of these requests I would be very grateful!
