  HELP! I want the text in my footer to stand out more. How do I create a black background for my footer widgets like I have in the Primary Widget Area?

  You code it into the HTML editor. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/09/19/background-color-to-text/

  I apologize. I don’t help with CSS and I just realized that this thread is in the CSS Forum.

  To change the colors of the footer background, text, and links in the Coraline theme, try this:

  #colophon {
  background: black;
  padding: 1em;
  color: gray;
  }
  
  #colophon a {
  color: #80B0FF;
  }
  
  #colophon a:hover, #colophon a:visited {
  color: #DDD;
  }

  Change the color names and codes as necessary.
