Modifying Forum's main page

Hey in advance thank you for your help

Now here is my forum-http://newordersith.forumotion.com/
I was wondering how can I add things on the sides of the forum, such as Post count, latest topics, links to other sites and other info and such?

Those which you refer to , are called "widgets.
go your acp>modules> forum widgets>click "yes" to display forum widgets>you have option to display them on either left(column 1) , right(column 3) or both sides. you can also set the size of the blocks in px's >save

awesome i got that but is it possible to change the color of the text its in, like it says Statistics and Latest topics in a color thats to hard to read

acp > display > colors> css stylesheet>

copy/paste this in your css stylesheet.

Code:

    .introduction .h3, .module .h3, .postbody .h3 {
        color: #ffffff;
        margin-top: 8px;
    }

phpbb2

this is what i put in css and it didnt change, I am going for the color red



.introduction .h3, .module .h3, .postbody .h3 {
color: #CF0404;
margin-top: 8px;
}


is there a code for changing the background of it and the text

and thanks so much for helping, i really appreciate it
