    Hi there. I have installed Wordpress on a site of mine, and would like to keep the original theme, but change the background color from white to black.

    I have opened up the advanced theme editor, and it appears that I need to use css? I have never done this, and wondered if any one here knows how to do this, and if they would be so good as to share their knowledge?

    Looking forward to all and any help.

    Best wishes to you all...

    Alex

    That would change the font colour, presuming that nothing is defined afterwards....

    I don't work with WP, but going on the above post change (or probably just add)

    
body
{
background-color: #000000;
}
    Code (markup):
    In the css file...

    The best way to learn is to experiment. Copy all the original code to a text file and safe it somewhere on your pc.

    Once that is done, feel free to change things at will. If you mess up, you still have the original code.

    Good Luck!
