  I have been reviewing blogs and trying to find the right information on how and where to place the css code but Im not able to do it correctly.

  In my dropdown menu I have a gallery and text. The background of the website is fine but the background of the “container” is stark white. I can’t figure out how to change this, what css to use and where to add the css.

  TIA

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

  Editing CSS support document shows where to add the custom styles.

  However I did not understand what do you mean by dropdown menu and background of the “container”. Could you please elaborate a bit so I can try and figure the CSS you will need.

  Definitely, sorry I was using the terms that I found when I was searching for answers on line.

  So on my website austinforgemaster.com, when I look under any of the menu selections (about, news, rails, gates, etc.) the picture gallery and typed text is on a very white background. The web page background I am able to change but the “text box” that I input info into will not change colors or styles.

  I would like to change the style to a saved image I have in my photo gallery. I did this when I wanted to change the background of the website itself and was trying to do the same for the areas I described.

  Thanks for the help.

  I am on this page: http://austinforgemaster.com/about/.

  By text box do you mean the background of the post? or something else?
  Looks like you want to set some image from you media gallery as the background of the post. If so, try the following, replacing the image url with the actual image url:

  .entry {
  	background-image: url('image url');
  }

  I suspect we might need to adjust the style a bit. But please just try and let me know what’s needed. Let’s work it out.

  Hi, so I tried inputting the code you suggested in several different locations including the css area under edit widgets. It doesn’t seem to be changing the background of where the text and photo gallery are entered.

  Thanks so much
