   Help,
   Changing "background in 2010 only changes the background of the screen.
   the pages and posts are stark white.
   I looked at the style CSS but cannot figure out where to change the background-color of my content pages and posts.
   Any help is appreciated.

   the background of what you could consider to be the page or post area is in div #main:

   either add a solid color to the style of #main around line 440 in style.css of 2010 theme:
   

   #main {
   	overflow: hidden;
   	padding: 40px 0 0 0;
       background-color: #123456;
   }

   this color would be a solid background including the sidebar area.

   or make a background image (horizontal slice, height 10px or less) width 940px with separate color regions for the main and the sidebar area (and/or a divider line) saved in the /images folder and reference it in style.css (for instance):
   

   #main {
   	overflow: hidden;
   	padding: 40px 0 0 0;
       	background: #123456 url(images/main_bg.png) center top repeat-y;
   }

   if you should use the page template without sidebar, you need to change the above style in style.css for this.

   Thank you for your help.
   I tried it both ways
   #main {
   overflow: hidden;
   padding: 40px 0 0 0;
   background: http://eclipsethemeparty.com/images/backgrnd.png center top repeat-y;

   and I still have the same white page.
   What else can I try?

   small adjustment to your code needed:

   #main {
   	overflow: hidden;
   	padding: 40px 0 0 0;
       	background: url(http://eclipsethemeparty.com/images/backgrnd.png) center top repeat-y;
   
   }

   also, to see the changes, you sometimes need to reload the page in the browser or clear the browser cache.
