  We are using Coraline mainly because of the pull down menu. But we’d like to change the content area to a different color than the background. Also make the right column another color. I got the content background to white (changed it back) but I can’t get it to accept another color and if I put any css code in the update area even if I don’t change it, it reverts back to the white color.

  I’ve done websites and do css so I’ve read the html code for Coraline but I can’t figure out how this update in wordpress.com works.

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

  The following will change the color for the entire content area including the sidebar. I’ve also changed the left margin for the content and the left and right margin for the sidebar so that the text does not butt right up against the edges of the colored backgrounds. You can of course change the colors, I only inserted those as placeholders. You can even use hex color codes.

  .two-column #container {
  background-color:red;
  }
  
  .two-column #primary, .two-column #secondary {
  background-color:yellow;
  }
  
  .hentry {
  margin:0 0 3.4em 1.5em;
  }
  
  .widget-area ul {
  margin:0 1em;
  }
