     • Go to a relevant enterprise site for colour options (e.g. Government of Kiribati site to expore colour theme)

6. Next meeting
   • • Edit the colour theme options. When you happy with your colour theme design, contact the OER Foundation to code your theme as an option in the OERu WordPress theme. (DO NOT request a new snapshot of your course outline in the wiki until the theme option has been coded otherwise you will overwrite your theme colour settings. It would be a good idea to keep a record in a separate document of the hex colour codes for each option.)
