    I want to change the background colour in the bit we write from white to the same grey as the header image. I’m new to blogs and CSS. Is there a way to do it? Thank you!

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

    I would add some CSS to the comment div

    #respond #comment-form-comment textarea, #comment-form-share-text-padder textarea {
    background: #B5AEBB !important;
    color: black;
    }

    You will want to make sure that whatever gray color you choose your text color has enough contrast to be readable. Let me know if this helps.

    Thank you for your swift reply!
    I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but it didn’t really work.
    I’ll try also some tutorials to see if I understand what I’m doing wrong… I’m not very computer literate….
    Thank you ever so much!

    I want to change the background colour in the bit we write from white to the same grey as the header image.

    I checked http://fundinglandscape.wordpress.com/ and I see that you don’t have any posts published yet, so it says “Nothing Found” in the main content area. Is that the area you want to turn from white to grey?

    To do that, add the following to your Appearance > Customize > CSS editor:

    .site,
.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-meta,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.page-content {
	background: #eee;
}

    Adjust the #eee color code as needed.

    You may find a few other spots that need to be adjusted once you start adding content. If you find any, just find the selector for the area that’s white and add it to the comma-separated list in the example above.

    Here’s a guide about how to find selectors:
