background color

  • Hello, my blog is one solid color, and I can’t figure out how to get the posting area to be another. I’ve tried pretty much everything, and can’t seem to figure it out. My stylesheet looks like this: /* Begin Typography & Colors */
    body {
    font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
    font-family: ‘Lucida Grande’, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
    background: #000000; url(images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg);
    color: #ffffff;
    text-align: center;
    }

    when I remove the semi-colon after the background #, all’s that ends up happening is my whole background becomes the kubrickbg color image, not just the outside. Is there any other location on the stylesheet that might pertain to this? Because I feel like I’ve tried everything with this area. The link to my blog is this https://www.NeonMusicalinsight.com Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Find .narrowcolumn { in your style.css and add a link like this:

    background-color:white;

    Replace “white” with the color you want…you will also need to adjust the padding and margin values a bit to make it look good.

    That was a good idea, but what I was referring to was the posting area and the sidebar as well. Sorry for not specifying. Basically I want to have it back to the way that it looked at first, just with the outside wall black and the inside wall (posting area/sidebar) in white.

    Hi,

    You can specify the padding area [padding, height, width, color, font etc..,] for sidebar as well as desired color for your blog background of sidebar and post from the style.css of the theme…

    Thanks,

    Thanks all. I tried changing the background of the narrow column and the sidebar which worked out perfectly, but then the text in my posts were no longer center and running all the way into the sidebar. If there are any solutions to this, I’d appreciate if anyone can let me know. Thanks.
