Help with Theme Editor for Arjuna WordPress Theme

Guys,

This is a website I am just about to start (hence incomplete)

http://livinglifetothefullest.org/

I am trying to change the background colour from gray to white (or any other colour for that matter)

I have tried everything including replacing existing colour codes with FFFFFF (white html code).

Here is the completely original code that I have right now:

[please mark any posted code – see http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code ]

body {
	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
	font-size:13px;
	line-height:normal;
}

body.gradient_blueish {
	background:#d9d9d9 url(./images/bg/gradient_blueish.png) repeat-x 0 0;
}
body.gradient_gray {
	background:#f2f2f2 url(./images/bg/gradient_gray.png) repeat-x 0 0;
}
body.gradient_gray_reverse {
	background:#ccc url(./images/bg/gradient_gray_reverse.png) repeat-x 0 0;
}
body.gradient_khaki {
	background:#ede9e4 url(./images/bg/gradient_khaki.png) repeat-x 0 0;

Please let me know what line needs to be changed so I get a white background.

ALSO: I have found a similar blog with a great presentation – I am assuming it is a widget of some sort:

How can I get my initial home page to have a list of all the recent blogs I have had and also to have the same presentation style (big rectangular boxes with a preview of text inside?

Your help is much appreciated!
