We are using Coraline mainly because of the pull down menu. But we'd like to change the content area to a different color than the background. Also make the right column another color. I got the content background to white (changed it back) but I can't get it to accept another color and if I put any css code in the update area even if I don't change it, it reverts back to the white color.
I've done websites and do css so I've read the html code for Coraline but I can't figure out how this update in wordpress.com works.
