John
This is a dumb question, but I cant seem to remember how to change the background color of the blog outside of the tables. I'd like to get the whole thing sitting on a simple black background. I thought it was simply a matter of changing the background-color attribute in the style sheet for the body tag but this hasn't worked. What am I not doing?
The blog I'm playing with is at http://johnbuckley.blogharbor.com I'm planning to put a portfolio on it, your help is as always appreciated.
Regards
John B |

Did you already try modifying the background color attribute of the body class? |

Do you mean this?
body {
margin: 20px 40px 20px 40px;
color: #FFF;
background-color: #black;
}
This is what I currently have in my custom css. It does nothing. Is this not correct? If so, what is? ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) |

You can use background-color: black; or background-color: #000; but background-color: #black; is not the correct syntax. |
