  Hi:
  I need help with WhatACardCards.com. I’m using the Ecto theme. I’ve made some custom changes using CSS, but I can’t figure out how to add background color and eliminate white space properly.

  Here’s what I’d like to do:
  1. On Home Page and all Pages, eliminate the white border around the text so the light peach background extends to the dark peach.
  2. On Blog Posts, eliminate the white borders along the sides so the dark peach area is wider and fills the white space. Convert all of the white space above and below each post to light peach.

  Here is the CSS I’ve already added:

  .navbar .navbar-action a {
  visibility: hidden;
  }

  .navbar .navbar-action a:after {
  content: “Menu”;
  color: #fff;
  visibility: visible;
  display: inline-block;
  padding: .75em 1em;
  border: 1px solid;
  border-radius: 3px;
  line-height: 1.5;
  }

  h1.entry-title {
  text-align: center;
  width: 100%;
  }

  body.page .type-page .entry-title,
  .not-found .entry-title, .page-title {
  color: #030ba4;
  }

  .entry-title, .entry-title a {
  color: #030ba4;
  }

  .entry-title, .site-content .entry-meta {
  text-align: center;
  }

  .entry-content, .site-content .entry-meta {
  background: #ffe7df;
  }

  Thanks very much for any help you can give me!

  Hi there, I would suggest replacing this

  .entry-content, .site-content .entry-meta {
      background: #ffe7df;
  }

  with this

  #primary {
      background: #ffe7df none repeat scroll 0 0;
  }

  That way you have s slight border around the text instead of having the text right up against the left and right of the lighter color. See what you think.
