    I am confused, when I am editing my blog (http://moneymakingforbeginners.blogspot.com/) it shows up to me with black background, so I made the text white, then got complaints that no one could read the text. So I went to browsershots and did a screen capture, and what do you know, my background IS white.

    Why does my body background show up as black to me, but white to everyone else? It's confusing.

    Perhaps you've customized your IE or Firefox browser color settings that's why your background/colors differ. Try reseting them and see what happens.
    Otherwise you might've altered Blogger's presentation/preview css style. So go and expand your Template then find the string '#000000' or 'black' and change it to correspond to your background color.

    Perhaps you have pasted HTML code using dreamweaver or some software in it.

    Are you saying that the preview of the page looks different, or when you go to your live site.

    If its a preview problem check your blogspot settings, or make sure you are uploading/changing a file, and not just saving it.

    If it is a live website, sounds like a browser problem. Try using a different browser, or setting all your details to default.

    Your site has a white background and black text. To change the background of the whole page simply change the property for the body inside your CSS file like so:

    body { background: #000; color: #fff; }

    Or search for this if it's already in place.

    What's all this about anyways:
    <Variable name="bgcolor" description="Page Background Color"
type="color" default="#BCBEB0">
<Variable name="bgcolorwrapper" description="Page Wrap Background Color"
type="color" default="#FFFFFF">
<Variable name="bgcolorwrapperborder" description="Page Wrap Border Color"
type="color" default="#C0C0C0">
<Variable name="bgcolorhead" description="Header Background Color"
type="color" default="#322E2B">
<Variable name="titlecolor" description="Blog Title Color"
type="color" default="#ffffff">
<Variable name="blogtitlefont" description="Blog Title Font"
type="font"
default="normal bold 320% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
<Variable name="descriptionfont" description="Blog Description Font"
type="font"
default="normal normal 120% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">
<Variable name="bgcolornav" description="Nav Head Background Color"
type="color" default="#3A3A3A">
<Variable name="colornav" description="Nav Text Color"
type="color" default="#fff">
<Variable name="bgcolornavhover" description="Nav Hover Color"
type="color" default="#C4C5B8">
<Variable name="bgcolornavline" description="Nav Head Background Line Color"
type="color" default="#4D4B49">>
    Code (markup):

    I am not sure, I found this template online, I just downloaded it, and uploaded it to blogger on the edit html page.
