Not that hard, you will need CSS, and some div tags, then within thos div tags you can type what you please.

This what I used to show the newest pilots. You can alter it to show a welcome message.

CSS - goes in your skins css file.

.clean-welcome{
border:solid 1px #349534;
background:#C9FFCA;
color:#008000;
font-weight:bold;
padding:4px;
text-align:center;
}

Place the code below where you want to display the message

<div class="clean-welcome"> <?php $newpilot = PilotData::getLatestPilots(1); ?>
Welcome Alaska Adventures Newest Pilot:<?php foreach ($newpilot as $pilot)
{
echo $pilot->firstname.' '.$pilot->lastname.' ('.PilotData::getPilotCode($pilot->code, $pilot->pilotid).')';
}
?>
</div>

In the css, change the color of the H3 tag, and it will change it to whatever color you choose.

I under stand how to change color, how do you change words that are typed there.

Just delete the text that is written there, and put in what you want. It isn't rocket science.
