  Hi – for each of our posts and stickies we would like it to have a slight border and light shading behind each so it is easier on the eye. Too much white space. How do I do this?

  Also, I would like to make the screen space around the actual blog space a solid color so that the blog stands out (like the blog is the paper, and it’s on a dark table). Let me know if that’s confusing.

  Seems like these should be pretty easy changes. Thank you so much for any help.

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

  Here’s one way of doing it. Feel free to change the colours and border properties, I’ve just used a lighter version of your green logo colour for the background and a very light grey for the posts.

  body {background-color:#92a59d;}
#container {background-color:#ffffff;}
.post {padding: 10px; border:1px dashed #cccccc; background-color:#fafafa;}

  Thank you – worked perfectly!! Do you know how I can put a border around the widget content to make it a box and not hanging content? If you also know how to make the comment title text size in the Comments widget come down that will solve all my problems :-)
