 * I added a background to my site and changed the html so that it would not show
   behind my content and sidebar area. It worked and now it is white behind where
   it once was my background. my background is grey burlap kind.
    my url is [http://www.mysnippetsofinspiration.com](http://www.mysnippetsofinspiration.com)
 * thanks for your help!

 * I’m not sure what you are asking – you said you changed it and it worked…? What
   do you want to show on the site?
 * (BTW, these forums are entirely volunteer, so we don’t promise any particular
   level or time-frame for support…)

 * I changed the background to what I wanted. Then as I was editing code I must 
   have messed up something. so that now the background doesn’t show on the sides…
   only on the top and bottom. I’ve gone back through and tried to figure it out
   but i’m stuck.
 * Thanks. I didn’t realize these forums were volunteer. thanks for your help!

 * If you remove everything you did and add background-color: #fff; to .content 
   you will have a white background on just the middle section.

 * thanks. I removed what i did and it did indeed turn everything white…the sides,
   top &bottom and behind the content. then i uploaded my background into the platform
   setting>design control and the entire blog is the background color. I’d like 
   to have the background only on the sides. is that possible?
