  I am trying to splash up my blog but I can only seem to get colour on the side bars. I was hoping to try a background colour for the text and also have a different colour than the main colour behind the box. Thanks everyone, I can blog but I can’t format. Cheers, Harlon

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Harlon, add the following to your custom CSS. I’ve used obnoxious colors for demonstration purposes. The first rule is the red, the second the lime green and the third is the yellow.

  .site-header, .site-content .widget-area {
      background-color: #cc0000;
  }
  .site-main {
      background-color: #11ff00;
  }
  .main-navigation .menu, .tablet-desktop .main-navigation {
      background-color: #ffee00;
  }
