Can someone tell me how to change the bg color of a story? i have tried changing both the background and the text color with HTML, and, as i have gotten no results, i assume it must be done a different way.. help?
Thanks! i appreciate whatever you can tell me!

Submit a page with the body looking like this

<p style="background-color: blue">
Test paragraph with a blue background
</p>

then click on 'Input Filters' and select 'Full HTML' and save the page.

Better not to use inline CSS styles, but rather add styling info to style.css file in your theme's directory:

for example,

.node { background-color: #ccc; }

im a bit of a newbie with CSS- i can modify stylesheets w/o too much trouble, but adding anything is beyond me... could you explain further and/or show me the css needed to make a story with a black background?

Thanks a lot!

Depends on if you are trying to turn just one story's background to black or all of them, which is the case here?

I'm trying to change the text box thing that the story get posted inside of. It's set at a default peach color and I can't find that anywhere in the style.css of my theme. How do you post to just a blank background?
