Changing Blog & Archives Background Color

[Becca]

Hello!

We are putting some more emphasis and effort on our organization’s blog. Currently, we are looking at the implications of blog color and design on readership. If possible, I would like to change the background color of the blog archive (http://www.famservices.com/site/blog) and blogs posts to white with black text.

A few months ago you helped me change the color of an individual page on our site using the Custom CSS box. I tried to do that again for the blog and blog posts, but nothing is changing. . . Do I need to do something differently?

Thanks!
Becca

Hello Becca,

Here’s one way to handle that.

1. Go to the Theme Options page and select the Styling tab.
2. Scroll down to the Custom CSS box and paste this:

   
   article.type-post {
   	padding: 15px;
   	background-color: #fff;
   	color: #000;
   }
   

3. Update your settings.

That will make the individual articles have white backgrounds and the text there to be black too.

If you have any trouble, let me know,
Bill
