 * Try this:
 * `#single_content {background: transparent;}`
 * That should work.
 * But respectably note that this makes the text on the page difficult to read, 
   as contrast is reduced and the background gets in the way (and, frankly, it looks
   amateurish — reminiscent of Microsoft Frontpage websites of yore 🙂 ).

 * that was the solution I needed, thanks
 * I modified it to:
 * #single_content {background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);}
