    I absolutely enjoy using the Pinboard theme. Can I tweek the background of the “Content” area? I have very limited coding knowledge – so be gentle.

    Unfortunately this is pretty complicated since there are different backgrounds for different templates for that area.

    Would I l@ east be able to change the content areas COLOR? Or would that be similar to performing brain surgery?

    The problem is that on archive pages the content area has no background and individual posts do; on single posts the content area is white. You’d have to do some overriding and cascading for this to work properly. Open style.css and search for #content, then try changing the background property.

    Thanks Daniel. I think I better stay in the kiddie pool for this one.

    Hey it’s not that hard, I created a child theme (instruction on WordPress site, just search for that topic) then I added this code to my style.css child theme sheet.
    #content {
    background: #5f3819; */works on main content but not sidebar*/
    }

    Dont’ forget if you create a child theme style sheet you need to ‘activate’ that theme as per WP childtheme instructions
