  Hi,

  Could you please how can I change base background colour in Twenty Ten Theme using CSS coding, as the other option is not available with this theme.

  Thank you

  You can change the background color at Appearance -> Background in your blog’s Dashboard. Is that not working for you?

  Hello,

  No unfortunately it doesn’t work for me.
  I’m talking about the base background colour (behind the txt, txt box), not the main background.

  Thank you,

  Izabela

  Try this in your Custom CSS:

  .entry-content {background:color;}

  Like:

  .entry-content {background:#777;}

  It worked but it seems like there is another background in between the most distant background (which I can change in Appearance section I suppose it is body background) and a content background. I would like the header background to blend easily with a rest of the website)
  I hope you know what I mean as it is not easy to describe when I don’t know the exact names of the backgrounds used.

  Thank you

  Ok, for that you’ll want:

  #main {background:color;}

  This option leaves uncovered section above the header and around the txt box

  Ok, try this instead of the other two:

  #wrapper {background:color;}

  That’s the one I was looking for:) Thank you very much. Is there an option to change the background behind the facebook box?
  There are few more things I am struggling with..
  -is there a possibility to change a site title and use the company logo instead (an image)
  -can I change the size of the tagline?

  Is there an option to change the background behind the facebook box?

  #facebook {background:color;}

  is there a possibility to change a site title and use the company logo instead (an image)

  No, that’s text-only.

  can I change the size of the tagline?

  You’re using a custom font, so you’ll have to increase or decrease it with the font tools.

  You might have more CSS questions in the future, and I see you’re using Chrome, which is great.

  You might want to get familiar with Chrome’s developer tools https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/ especially the element inspector, which will show you exactly which CSS to modify: https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/elements
