    – Try using tool like Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of CSS work. https://getfirebug.com/

    I am still trying to learn how to use Firebug. If anyone has a suggestion of how I could change the text background color before I fully learn Firebug, that would be great! Thanks!

    Do you have a section of the dashboard named, “Custom CSS” or “Edit CSS”?
    BTW: No magic here, we just use tools like Firebug to find the answers to formatting questions.

    What? You’re not magic? ??
    Yes, I know where Custom CSS and Edit CSS are. I could definitely input the code if I figure out what code to write.
    For example, I used to have this (below) before I figured out that I could set it automatically by selecting “Customize” from the Dashboard, but now I don’t know what to put instead of “body” …

    body {
    background:#a2d67e;
    color:#a2d67e;
    }

    Probably a simple fix, but when I pull up Firebug on someone’s page that I like and see hundreds of lines of code, I just can’t yet figure out which piece goes to which formatting … it’s like reading a new language! Thanks!

    Is this what you want:

    #main #content .post {
     background: white;
    }

    ?

    That worked! you’re a hero, Andrew! I’ll try to learn Firebug before bugging all you magicians about too much more of this stuff!
