background color & padding bottom

Hi!

First thank you for this really useful plugin! That simplifies a lot of things!

Though, I see that there were 2 threads on how to change the background color like adding something like this:

<style>
body {
background:red;
}
</style>

Though, could you explain where to add it? What I did so far was to add it into my text which looks like this:

<table style=”background: #15315c; font-family: calibri;” border=”0″ width=”814″ cellpadding=”1″>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align=”left” valign=”top” width=”33%”>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Newsletters</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Put your email here to get a VIP entrance to our store stalls:</p>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>[contact-form][contact-field label='Email' type='email'/][/contact-form]</p>
</td>
<td align=”left” valign=”top” width=”33%”>
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Latest Blog Posts</p>
 

 </td>
<td style=”text-align: center;” align=”left” valign=”top” width=”34%”>Share Us (please do!)
Facebook, Twitter, …</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

I created 3 cells of each roughly 33% wide, in which I have written the 3 topics I want to write about. I tried to make the whole thing blue as in my first line, but I won’t work. Plus, I am actually trying to change the whole footer color, so I don’t think I have it right. If you have advice, I will take them! ??

Also, the second problem is that I have a big padding at the bottom of the footer. Would you know how to reduce it?

Best,

Clement
