  I have two questions about the sidebar in the Mystique theme. 1) is it possible to add a bit of extra spacing around the text in the sidebar (i.e., equivalent to cellpadding in html), and 2) can I add a background color to the sidebar? BTW, I purchased the upgrade.

  Thanks!

  Here’s one possible way to do that:

  #sidebar {
  	padding: 1em;
  }

  Here is an example:

  #sidebar {
  	background-color: #F5DEB3;
  }

  You can change the color code to a different one. Here is a color picker you can use:
