    The blue bar is a picture, you can either re-color the picture or make a div with the right blackground color to replace it.

    a div is a html element, its used as a content container. its basicly the most generic html element it doesn't really do anything on its own, its just a logical grouping of other html elements or text (which we can apply style to via css)
    if you look at your code you'll see lots of div tags.

    open up your page and replace this line (near line 69)
    [COLOR=#0000ff]<[/COLOR][COLOR=#800000]h1[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]>[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#0000ff]<[/COLOR][COLOR=#800000]img [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]src[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]="images/wpe17238.jpg" [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]width[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]="330" [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]height[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]="47" [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]style[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]="color: #FFFFFF" />[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]</[/COLOR][COLOR=#800000]h1[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]>[/COLOR]
    

    with this line
    [COLOR=#0000ff]<[/COLOR][COLOR=#800000]h1[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]>[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#0000ff]<[/COLOR][COLOR=#800000]div [/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]style[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]="width:330px; height:47px; background-color:#0000FF">[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]&nbsp;[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]</[/COLOR][COLOR=#800000]div[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]>[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#0000ff][COLOR=#0000ff]</[/COLOR][COLOR=#800000]h1[/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]>[/COLOR][/COLOR]
    

    the background-colour should be the rgb hex code of whatever blue you wanted. it may still need some tweaking.
