'filling' space between content blocks

Please give the url and theme of your site so we can give ‘made to measure’ advice.

Hi visualgrasp,

It is not entirely clear what it is you want to do / what the endresult should look like.
So let me give you some hints / options.
!!But first check the bottom of this article about the precautions!!

Add the following code to the style.css of your ‘childtheme’ [see below]
Change the color of the background:

.wrap {
    max-width: 940px;
    margin: 0px auto;
    position: relative;
    background-color: #99cc66; /* you can change the color code*/
}

Change the background-image:

.wrap {
    max-width: 940px;
    margin: 0px auto;
    position: relative;
    background-image:url('paper.gif');/*replace with your image*/
    background-color:#9966cc;
}

Consider putting your graphics on a transparent backround? save them as a PNG-graphics file, to preserve transparency.

Je weet vast al dat er ook een Nederlandstalig forum is?

ALWAYS Make a backup of your site, before making any changes!!

1. Use FTP to backup the files.
2. Make sure to also backup your database.

3. Don’t make any changes to a theme itself. Instead make the changes to a childtheme. Should the author of your original theme update the theme, your changes will not be overwritten. Your site with your adaptations will remain intact.
   Use a childtheme to make the changes in
   Suggestion: use the ‘one click childtheme plugin’.
