    Hi forum helpers.

    We recently installed WP and we are trying to make just the area(s) below the header graphic to be a different color, like a cream. Not the whole background, but just the area below our custom graphics.

    Here is a link to our blog:

    ok first of all i see that you are using the default wordpress theme and you have chnaged it a bit, well you have some errors, for example teh site does not open correct for me under safari

    here is a link to the css validation page
    http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yourbackyardherbgrowers.com%2Fblog%2F&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1&lang=en

    and your xhtml validation is a horror
    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yourbackyardherbgrowers.com%2Fblog%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
    over 100 errors

    now to your question this can be done by adding a div before the post loop, and styling this div in your style.css

    or put this div after your header

    ohh i went back to your site and looked around,
    you should not just take a theme and delete until you think its working well
    the best way to implanting wordpress in another site is, making your own theme
