  Hi. I am starting to learn CSS and have Modularity Lite. I would like to lighten the color under the sidebar on right side. I am having trouble identifying which part of the code is for the background in that area. Is it defined separately from the main body?

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

  This will get you started. I just popped in a color as an example (#333333). I also added padding so that the text was not right at the edge of the lighter grey color.

  #sidebar {
  background-color: #333333;
  padding: 10px;
  }

  Yep. That is heading me in the right direction. I am fiddling with the color now. Then I will try alter the text color on the titles in the sidebar. Thanks for the help.
