• hey folks.

    not only can i not change the “wrapper” (which i believe is what to call the area outside of my sidebars), but i cannot even find any mention of it in my stylesheet. if anyone knows how to add/change the color, i would appreciate it. here is my CSS:

  • no need to post huge amounts of code here (and if you have to, please use a pastebin), a link to your site would be more effective.

    #wrapper is only a common name for the outermost div of a html page – in your case it is called #box.

    thanks for your help, and sorry about all the code. i tried to change the code for #box, and all that happened was that the poll in my sidebar disappeared. do you have a specific suggestion about where to input what code to make my wrapper black? here is my site: fantasybaseballaddiction.com

    your #box (wrapper) background is already black.

    the area outside the #box is referenced as ‘body’ in the style.css.

    add ‘background-color:#000;’to the body style:

    body{font-family:"Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;	padding:0;	margin:0;	color:#B2B2B2;background-color:#000;}

    and all shall be black 😉
