.An html Tutorial - Oh My.

I am going to give this a whirl. I received several emails today asking me how to get the color on the sides of a blog. Here is my attempt at helping.

Back up your html first!! Please, please. I do not want to be held responsible for messing up your blog! {wink}

Click layout and then edit html.

Scroll down through your html until you see this

#outer-wrapper {
width: 1055px;
margin:0 auto;
padding:10px;
text-align:$startSide;
font: $bodyfont;
}

Underneath width, put this

border-right: 100px solid #ffd5f1;
border-left: 100px solid #ffd5f1;

(the letters numbers after # specify the color you want. Click here to get hexcodes for colors) The number before the px specifies the width. I started with 1 and increased it until I liked how it looked.

So now your html will look something like this:

#outer-wrapper {
width: 1055px;
border-right: 100px solid #ffd5f1;
border-left: 100px solid #ffd5f1;

margin:0 auto;
padding:10px;
text-align:$startSide;
font: $bodyfont;
}

The bolded is the only thing you should have added.

Let me know how/if this works for you! I am not a pro at html!
