 * Hi im looking to add a background colour to my posts so that the text shows up
   against that colour. At the moment posts have a transparent colour so you see
   the text against the background of the entire site.
    Any assistance would be 
   greatly appreciated

 * Try styling on .post.

 * Is there no way to have it as default so all posts have the same background etc
   instead of having to do them one by one every post.

 * If you style on .post, all posts will inherit the same styling/background.
