It certainly does, Asnetguy.Appreciate your help.Also in the following code:

body{	font-family: 'trebuchet ms', times, serif;	font-size: 11px;	background-color: Silver;

I have set the background-color: Silver, but the body of my blog entry still shows as white.Is this not the right code to change to change the background color?Thanks again, ASPNetguy and W3Schools!!

My blog: Not Just CricketI have quite a few other blogs listed and linked to in my sidebar. I would like to take the underline off all the linked words/lines. I plan to have one font color for normal, then another font color for hover and another for visited.I cant seem to find the place where I can change this.Appending the basic page elements below, if that's of any help.

/* basic page elements */body{	font-family: 'trebuchet ms', times, serif;	font-size: 11px;	background-color: Silver;}a { color: #06C; text-decoration: underline; }a:visited { color: #369; }a:hover { color: #900; }#banner a {color: #bcaace;	text-decoration: none;}#banner a:visited {color: Yellow;}#banner a:hover {	color: Maroon; }.module-content a { color: #96c; font-weight: bold; }.module-content a:visited { color: #bcaace; }.module-content a:hover { color: #9c0; }h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6{	font-family: "Trebuchet MS";}.module-header,.trackbacks-header,.comments-header,.comments-open-header,.archive-header{	/* ie win (5, 5.5, 6) bugfix */	p\osition: relative; 	width: 100%;	w\idth: auto;		margin: 0 0 1px 0;	padding: 5px 5px 5px 25px;	color: #fff;	background: #799de7 url(colitem-header-bg.gif) 0 50% repeat;	font-size: 12px;	font-weight: bold;	text-transform: none;	line-height: 1;}.module-header a,.module-header a:visited,.trackbacks-header a,.trackbacks-header a:visited,.comments-header a,.comments-header a:visited,.comments-open-header a,.comments-open-header a:visited.archive-header a,.archive-header a:visited{	color: #fff;}.module-header a:hover,.trackbacks-header a:hover,.comments-header a:hover,.comments-open-header a:hover,.archive-header a: hover{	color: #369;}.module-content a {color: #369; font-weight: lighter;}.module-content a:visited { color: #6e849a; }.module-content a:hover { color: #900; }.entry-more-link,.entry-footer,.comment-footer,.trackback-footer,.typelist-thumbnailed{	font-size: 10px;}

S@m,It seems ok now. Thanks for your help. I had another query, but will create another thread for it.Meantime, appreciate your help and pointing me in the right direction.

To align the text:

#banner-header{text-align:center}

You could also do:

#banner-header h1 {text-align:center;}

Instead of creating another div. - Might help clean up your page a little.I would just put a big margin on the bottom of your banner to make it taller. You could also split the diference if you wanted the title in the middle.

#banner{margin-bottom:20px;}

- Just guessing at what div you are working with...

My blog at: Not Just CricketHow do I:1. center the Blog title and description2. increase the height of the banner box (the dark blue part).

Thank you for your response sjr.Maybe I am not making myself clear in what my query is.I run a blog (a community blog) @ Musoma. This is a community blog.An entry has been created @ Sunday May 14, 2006You will see that there are about 15 comments to that particular entry.What I would like to 'try' and do is to somehow separate each comment, so that the comments do not look all jumbled up. Now, for some reason that appears to be humorous, so be it.

thanks justsomeguy.i am just about getting the hang of CSS. Forgive the ignorance, but I would not have a clue where to start with the scripting code. Appreciate your helping nontheless!

Once I create a post in my blog. People leave comments.It is these comments that I would like to differentiate. Like shade each alternate comment, Thus eg: 1st comment is shaded, the next unshaded, the following shaded and so on.Something like this: TechCrunch

I would like to change the background color of alternate comments to a post. This way I can differentiate each comment, making it easier for the reader.Cheers

Mystery! The font has changed size. Now all I need to do is work out which font style this is and try and find out how I can tighten up the letters. Seems so spaced out right now.I think I'll hit W3Schools for a crash course on CSS.Thanks for your help in the meantime, LG and John and of course, W3Schools.

LG and John,Thanks for responding.Actually what happened was that I noticed two sets of the |body| tags and tried to comment out one to see if that worked. It, obviously didnt. So for added measure, i commented out both without any visible effect on the page.I have taken the /**/ out from both and still no change.John,you refer to the <p> tags. where would I (apologies for being a dork on CSS!!) look for and check on this??Appreciate your help guys!

Hoping a CSS guru/pundit/expert/tech-head can help on this.weblog url: http://www.musomablog.comI am using a vicksburg style as per under:
