  Hi there, if you are wanting to put a background behind each individual post, the following CSS will do that. Add it at Appearance > Customize > CSS (after deleting all the informational text) and adjust the color code as desired.

  .content article {
      background-color: #CC0000;
      padding-left: 10px;
      padding-right: 10px;
  }

  I also noticed that the text in the “Leave a Comment” button is too dark. If you want to change it, add the following and adjust the color as desired (I used white).

  footer.entry-meta .comments-link a {
      color: #FFFFFF;
  }
