Hello, and thanks for looking.
I have a simple problem. I'd like to be able to change the background color depending on which page I'm on. Would the body_class function be a good way of doing this, and if so, how do I know which class to use?
For example, would I use CSS like:
#body .home {
background-color:#0033CC;
}
to do this? (this didn't work by the way..), or is there a better solution?
Thanks.
the right style to use would be:
body.home {}
to know the class(es) look at the html code in the browser and look for something like:
<body class="home blog logged-in">
or
<body class="single postid-1">

I see what you're saying about finding the class in the source code, but I can't seem to get the background color to change.
here's my site:

I've tried using a few different CSS lines, none of which seem to work when I add a background color attribute:
body.home
body.home.blog
body.blog
body.page-id-2
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks again.

body.home would be correct, just try forcing the style..
body.home { background-color:#000!important; }

Thanks for the reply. I figured out the problem. In the theme I was using, the body class code was written:
<body class=<?php body_class(); ?>>
instead of the proper
<body <?php body_class(); ?>>
