 * Fixed it. I simply put the NC rules before the WP ones.
 * I also took them out of the ifmodule tags so that it generates an error if that
   module ever gets disabled.

 * Fortunately, I am the guy running my server (and how often is this the case?)
   but unfortunately, I have no idea how to install image editors or if it entails
   purchasing additional features. I think the site icon feature would be a lot 
   more attractive if it was a stand-alone function.
 * Incidentally, I have an icon file that’s already formatted and ready to use. 
   Would be nice if there was a way to skip the editor and just drop it in.

 * Aha. I’ve got it now. Here’s my code…
 *     ```
       body #page { background: transparent; }
   
       #primary { background-color: <color+alpha of your choice>; }
   
       #branding { background: transparent; }

 * Header and body backgrounds overlap. That means that even if you set the header
   bg to fully transparent, the body bg still shows through. I really want my header
   to have no background.

 * I tried it again using Jetpack, and this time it worked. It only affects the 
   body of your page though. Now I just need to figure out how to do it for the 
   header.

 * I installed the “Simple Custom CSS” plugin, and just copy pasted your code right
   into it.
 * Yes I want mine to look just like yours

 * OK I’ve figured it out. First, the two plugins which needed updating somehow 
   got deactivated, but not by me. Second, if you try to update a deactivated plugin,
   you will get the error message I posted above, which is strange. You would think
   you could still update plugins, even though you’re not currently using them.
 * Anyway, once I activated them, they updated without problem.

 * How stupid of me. I should have know to search for “twentyeleven one column width”.
   It’s so obvious.
 * I’m quite familiar with forum searching, and I didn’t find any answers I liked.
   That’s why I asked, and I’m glad I did because I really like Courtney’s answer.
   I think I needed a different theme, not monkeying with code.
 * Thank you for your attentive moderating. _[Comment moderated]_
