 * How do I make the content boxes transparent so you can see the background in 
   the Newp Theme?

 * If there is no apparent option in the dashboard named “Custom CSS” or similar,
   install this Custom CSS Manager plugin [http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin)
 * Then use its “CSS Code” [section of the dashboard](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/screenshot-1.jpg?r=704634)
   to hold your CSS modifications:
 *     ```
       // The last digit is the opacity
       body.blog article {
        background: rgba(0,0,0,.5);
       }
       ```
