You will need to use a css plugin or create a child-theme then add the following code.
#primary-content {
background: #fff;
}
Many thanks, but how do I do either of these?
Is there a recommended plugin?
Can I create a child theme without knowing to program?
I would recommend Simple Custom CSS. After installing and activating you will go to Appearance > Custom CSS.
I tried it on the Style sheet (is it OK to do that?) and it worked!
But I actually wanted a white background to each post and not a continuous white strip. Is it doable?
Many thanks again.

Any edits to the stylesheet will be erased if you update the theme.
Change it to this, the padding is so there is a little space between the edge and the text.
.hentry {
background: #fff;
padding: 8px;
}
batharoy,
Many thanks. I’ve installed the plugin, it only shows a blank screen for me to insert code I guess.
Should I just paste this and the plugin knows where to place it?
I didn’t find an “Undo” button, so am afraid of doing anything wrong and not being able to correct it. What do you recommend for a complete programming illiterate?
thanks again!
You can just enter your edits there and the plugin will place them, if something doesn’t work the way you want just go back in and delete the change.
