Background of text different color in BlueGrey

Post by lyoder »

I have been using the BlueGrey theme for awhile and sometimes the background of the text is white, while the rest of the background color is grey. When this happens I have tried to edit the background color, but cannot get a matching grey. I like this color scheme but feels it cheapens the look of my blog when it doesn't match. Is there a reason why sometimes it does this and other times it does not, and is there a way to fix it? If this does not make sense, my blog address is www.24-7style.com/serendipity

Thank you for anyone who can help!

I'm going to guess you are using the wysiwyg editor, because I see background colors added to the actual entry in both <font> tags as well as <p> tags.

If you want to make sure those are completely gone, and are using the wysiwyg editor, edit the entry, and click on the button that looks like: <>, which switches between wysiwyg and html mode.

Delete all the <font style="background-color: #FFFFFF"> (as well as any others, like faffff) and their associates </font> closing tags.

For <p> tags, just delete the portion that says style="background-color: #faffff", but leaving the opening <p> and closing </p> tags in tact.
