    I am using the Twenty Ten theme for my blog and would like to change the color of the border that is around the entire site. Right now it’s a light gray and I would prefer to change it to black.

    I’ve customized the colors for most of my site in CSS but this one has been stumping me. Any suggestions?

    here’s my site: http://www.pinkbasil.com

    open theme’s style.css and look for

    /* Main global 'theme' and typographic styles */
body {
	background: #f1f1f1;

    change background to desired

    But be warned that your changes will be over-written the next time you upgrade WordPresse. For this reason, it is recommended that you consider creating a child theme for your customisations.

    yeah, I saw that it changed everything; including all of the font colors. It did work though!

    Sorry for being CSS illiterate, but how do I make a child theme? I’m teaching myself all of this, still haven’t mastered it yet 🙂 Thanks!

    Once I create the child theme, do I add code to change the background right below the new theme code, or do I go down to Global Elements to change it?

    Not entirely understanding how it works… thanks!

    I must have done something wrong. It did what it said and the whole site went haywire…ugghh… now I’m back to square one after deleting the code I added…

    guess I’ll keep playing around with it…
