 * Does anyone know how to make the background visible through the content. Currently
   the header, content, and widgets on the home page are in a text box with white
   background. Yes, im a newbie.

 * Well, the white backgrounds are coming from different places. For example,
 * Your “featured area” background-color is being set here:
 *     ```
       #featured {
       width: 99.893617021277%;
       padding-bottom: 40px;
       border: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
       -webkit-border-radius: 4px;
       -moz-border-radius: 4px;
       border-radius: 4px;
       background-color: #fff;
       }
       ```
   
 * and your three callouts here:
 *     ```
       .widget-wrapper {
       margin: 0 0 20px;
       padding: 20px;
       border: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
       -webkit-border-radius: 4px;
       -moz-border-radius: 4px;
       border-radius: 4px;
       background-color: #f9f9f9;
       }
       ```
   
 * You could modify them via your child theme style.css.
