    I have a widget featuring another blog on my site, which has a black background. This is too dark for the look of my blog. Is there a way to change the colour of this background in the widget?

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

    Hi Steve – Since you have the Custom Design upgrade, you can change the background color of the footer widget by pasting this CSS into your Appearance->Customize->CSS area: 

    #footer-widget-area {
background: #E3EEAE;
}

    That’s to make it match the light green areas, but you can replace that color code with whatever color you like:

    When you do that, you’ll see a thick black border around the footer area. You can change that with this code: 

    #footer #colophon {
background: #E3EEAE;
}

    Let me know how that works!

    Hi eurello,

    I’ve tried the code you posted. The light green is certainly a big improvement! That’s fine.

    Thanks for your help.
