 * My website is trendblurb.com
 * On the front page I would like to have a space between the posts so that the 
   background shows through. I have messed around with the CSS but nothing seems
   to work for me. Any help would be appreciated!

 * your background color for your content is set to #1b1b1b. You might want to try
   setting it to transparent and setting the color for your articles to #1b1b1b.
   I posttest the css below if you want to try it.
 *     ```
       .site-content{background-color:transparent;}
   
       #main article{background-color:#1b1b1b;}
       ```

 * sorry you will have to set your sidebar color also
 *     ```
       .sidebar{background-color:##1b1b1b;}
       ```
   
 * you will probably have to work with it to get it like you want.

 * Thanks! After doing that, what CSS code would I add in to add a space between
   the posts on the front page?

 * the background will be transparent so everything between your articles will show
   the background.

 * Yes but there is no space between my articles for the background to show. I need
   to add some sort of padding between them but I cannot figure it out

 * The first 2 statements makes the background totally invisible than add the background
   to your articles only.
 *  The space between your articles will be totally transparent. If you want more
   space just increase the margins between your articles.
