 * What is your site link?
 * Makes it easier to see what you want exactly.
 * Thanks

 * If I understand right try these two codes in your Child Theme or CSS Editor.
 *     ```
       .entry-content {
           background: #fff;
       }
   
       .site-content {
           background-color: #171717;
       }
       ```
   
 * You need one to cancel out the other in a way.
 * Let me know if this what you’re looking for.

 * No, I don’t think that works. I just added what you suggest in the style.css

 * Don’t use the core CSS file.
 * Use a CSS Editor like [**this one**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-css/)
 * If you edit the core CSS when the theme is updated all your edits will be lost.

 * the text “73,839 of you visited. etc” is a different section on the page. I want
   to set the background for this section to what ever I want.

 * Each section has a unique ID, inspect the element to discover what it is then
   style it via CSS:
 * `#builder-section-1427125243113 { background: red; }`
 * I’d really like to see per-section customisations built into the Make section
   builder. Setting font and background colour would be great.

 * We’re working on it, thanks for the suggestion. 🙂
 * And **bkno** is correct. You’ll need to use Firebug or something similar to find
   the Builder section ID#.

 * Much better than per-section styling would be the ability to add per-section 
   classes to the div. I think that is what is missing, the most.
