  i have purchased the CSS upgrade. I would like to change the colour of the area outside the blogging area, to the left and right, to a different colour. I am using Ocean Mist and would like to change that blue to something not blue and darker.

  where is the CSS style sheet is that code?

  It is in the body section. What you want to do is to put into the CSS edit window only those parts that you are changing and make sure you have it set to “add to existing stylesheet”. Currently the body background is:`body {
  background:#9BC3D5 url(images/bg_body.gif) repeat-x scroll left top;`
  }`

  You want to change it to: `body {
  background:#9BC3D5;
  }`

  and then change the hex color code (9BC3D5) to what you want.

  For some reason the backtick thing didn’t work. Change this:

  body {
  background:#9BC3D5 url(images/bg_body.gif) repeat-x scroll left top;
  }

  to this:

  body {
  background:#9BC3D5;
  }

  and change the hex color code.

  thanks. that worked. but it revealed that the blog area has a blue border around it. blog starts feeling like some suit in grey with a blue oxford shirt on – like its missing a tie. hardly the pizaaz i was looking for.

  I will have to think on this.

  thank you for the help.
