    I am trying to set the background color of my post pages (the section with text) to be the same color as the main page background color (#cee1f7). I am using the default 2010 Theme. The url to my site is http://www.bugsnflowers.com/blog/. I have tried modifying the style.css to no avail. In fact I can’t see that any of the edits I have made style.css has made a difference. Any help would be appreciated.

    Add the following CSS to the .hentry class in your style.css file on line number 525 in your text editor:

    background: #CEE1F7;

    You might also want to add padding etc. to tidy things up. 🙂

    Dgwyer,
    Thanks for the instructions. It worked perfectly!

    Unfortunately, I didn’t realize I needed to change other areas like the widget background in order to make the entire page the same color.

    Can you tell me what other parts of the style.css I need to add this code to in order to make all the bacground colors uniform?

    Thanks in advance,
    Shane

    Try Firebug for future reference it comes in sooooooo handy a lot of the time for this sort of thing.

    Looks like one of the only remaining things to do is to delete the background color in the wrapper id.

    Sweet! That was it.

    I’ll look into Firebug as well.

    Thanks very much for your help.
