 * Hi,
 * Is there any way of adding space – in the same way as between the Widgets, ie
   having each entry be its own “box” – between the entries?
 * My blog is here:
 * [http://toshwood.com/](http://toshwood.com/)
 * What I want is to have the posts “match” the sidebar with the blank space inbetween,
   rather than just separated by a border.
 * Any help greatly appreciated!

 * If you remove the `background-color` from `#primary`, add it to `.hentry`, then
   add a bottom margin to `.hentry`, you’ll be able to achieve this effect. I would
   make these changes in [a child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   so they do not get overwritten by future theme updates.

 * Great, thanks so much – worked like a charm. Only thing is that now the comment
   section doesn’t have the background colour – is there any way of adding the background
   colour + border to that as well?
 * Thanks for the great theme too, by the way!

 * Sure — I don’t know what selectors off the top of my head, but you can use a 
   browser addon like [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com) or Chrome Developer Tools
   to right-click and Inspect the comments section of your site. This will show 
   you the CSS selectors on which to apply the background color and border.
