  Hi,
  I have been trying to get the white box where my posts are to be transparent so that my picture in the background can be seen.

  Does this make sense? I am totally lost and have been working on this too long.

  Thanks,
  Rosemary

  Hi Rosemary, my suggestion would be something like the following, which gives the content area a translucent look. The first three numbers are the RGB color values (white in this case) and the last number, the 0.7, is the opacity. The closer to 1 you get, the more opaque with 1 being completely opaque. You can also use more than one digit after the decimal, so something like 0.725 would be fine.

  .site {
      background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
  }
  #secondary {
      background: none;
  }
