I wanted to see if I could see what the sidebar widgets would look like in white boxes, not just a white square border around each widget but the background behind the title and content to be a white square/rectangle behind each different widget. right now I have a red line separating each widget which I would delete. I added I gray shadow behind the widgets so the white boxes would show up. I hope I explained that well enough. thanks for your help!

If you remove the two declarations specifying the red border and transparent background from your existing CSS and then add this in too it should work:
```
.widget {
  background-color:#fff;
}

#secondary .widget:first-child {
  margin-top:25px;
}
```
(The existing background colour bit you don’t need to remove because this code will take precedence but you might as well get rid of it to avoid confusion in the future)

I input that CSS but was wondering when I checked my site on my ipad why I dont see the white boxes? The sidebar is just the gray color. Thanks.

Did you save the changes to your CSS? I don’t see it live on your site yet and if you’re previewing it on a computer and then checking it on a different device you won’t see any difference until you save!

I have a question about uploading photos to my blog. If I am using Lightroom 5 and I want to export a photo to my blog how many pixels wide do I say to resize the photo? Thanks. Mary Ann

You can export them any size you want, but typically what I do is export them at about 1000px wide. When you insert them into a post or page, you have three choices, thumbnail (about 150px wide), medium (about 300px wide) and full-sized (which is sized to the maximum width of the content area in pages and posts). WordPress does that resizing for you, so you don’t have to worry about any of that really, but to keep things as sharp and clear as possible, and to avoid wasting space, about 1000px wide (landscape orientation) or 1000px tall (portrait orientation) would be a good choice.
