    How do I change the background color of posts and widgets (text and non text)?

    I have read several how-to’s and done what they said (I think) and the color never changes.

    In the Appearance > Editor I have found several places where it says

    body {
	background: #f1f1f1;

    or similar and using http://www.quackit.com/css/css_color_codes.cfm I found the color code I want. I change the color and press “Update File” and check my page and nothing happens.

    I also tried installing plug-ins but none seem to work and I’d rather learn how to do it in the Editor as it seems that will be more simple in the future.

    you need to know the specific selector for the text, widgets and posts.
    once you know which selector to use you can add your css

    .my-selector {
  color: blue;
}
