 * Hello,
 * [http://quirm.net/2009/08/07/changing-headers-with-wordpress-body_class/](http://http://quirm.net/2009/08/07/changing-headers-with-wordpress-body_class/)
 * I’ve been working from the above link to try and colour code sections of [my site](http://thomasjwpayne.com/site).
   got it working on the ‘search’ class and the ‘blog’ class but cant seem to make
   it happen for individual pages. Specifically [this page](http://thomasjwpayne.com/site/?page_id=3)
   which is meant to have the same yellow background as the About menu section. 
   would be really grateful if anyone could give me some direction on this?
 * Thomas

 * have you tried
 * `body.page-id-3 #content {background: #123456; }`
 * individual pages have a class `.page-id-123` with `123` being the page ID
