Great instructions, easily-enough adapted to Twenty-Eleven. Worked for me as well, with thanks!

I’ll get Firebug as I use FF exclusively, though I do check the site’s look in Chrome, Opera and that other one.

This is the first time I’ve asked for help and I appreciate how well and how quickly you solved my problem!!

Looks much better now, thank you!

Through the Dashboard, I activated Twenty-Ten, then deleted Twenty-Eleven. I ran the Validator again (thanks for showing me that tool!) and fixed the one css syntax error that I knew how.

I checked on the server to make sure the 20-11 folder was gone, then re-installed Twenty-Eleven. I’m back in business with a white page background. The new installation found my Custom CSS file – giving the page a corner radius – but I will set that up in a Child Theme to be safe.

Thank you!!

This does not seem to affect things but the Validator is giving me errors on this……View all posts in Uncategorized” X rel=”category tag”>Uncategorized </span>… (where the “X” is the red, close-tag error indicator.) Should I leave well-enough alone?? Or seek to fix it?

Thank you very much. I’ll start with a clean copy of the code. I must be mistaken when I assumed that the new “Custom css” function inside Jetpack, in essence, created a child theme.

After cleaning things up, I’ll create a child theme and work within it.

I thank you very much for your help and advice.
