   Hi:

   I'm trying to change the background color on my site. The theme is fifty fifth street. As I see in other questions about this topic, I have (I think) located the section of code dealing with body and changed the color code. However, the background color remains the same. Here's the code that I changed (background color was #fff):

   /* Begin Structure */
   body {
   background:#3366aa;
   font:62.5% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   color:#555;
   text-align:center;
   }

   Obviously I'm doing something wrong. I'd appreciate any help.

   No, that's correct, although, I'd change it to:

   /* Begin Structure */
   body {
   background-color: #36A;
   font:62.5% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   color:#555;
   text-align:center;
   }

   Background is the shorthand property for all background properties, you're only specifying the colour.

   Huggie:

   Thanks for the reply.

   So, I make that change, I click update file, I get the message that the file has been successfully updated, but the background color doesn't change. Am I missing a step?

   your browser might be holding on to the old styles.
   try to clear your browser cache by reloading the page, or by pressing CTRL anf F5 at the same time.
