  I would like to change the background color to light blue. I understand this is the code: #main {
  background-color: #ccccff; /* light blue */
  }
  Where, exactly, do I put this code? Thanks for any help.

  HI drumqueen

  To enter custom CSS.

  Select Appearance > Customize > CSS from your Admin Dashboard and enter the custom CSS there.

  You need to be on the WordPress.com Premium Plan for custom CSS to save. You can only preview custom CSS on the free plan.

  WordPress comes in two flavours. WordPress.com and WordPress.org

  This article does a good job of explaining the differences –http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  It looks like you are using a self hosted WordPress.org installation.

  This support forum is for sites that are hosted with WordPress.com

  For self-hosted WordPress sites like yours, you can get help in the WordPress.org support forums – http://WordPress.org/support/

  If you are using a self hosted WordPress.org installation I would suggest the Jetpack plugin from Automattic with the custom CSS option activated for adding custom CSS.
