    Hoping someone can please help me. I am trying to set up my blog background to be all black instead of black with “#252525” (currently on the sidebars and the actual blog entry posts). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Try using a browser developer tool for this kind of CSS exploratory work.
    From Google Chrome’s built-in developer tool, I constructed this CSS;

    #sidebar1wrap,
#sidebar2wrap,
.post {
 background: black;
}

    I feel should prob. duck and cover from what I am about to say, but I am not really much of a CSS guy. :S Sorry. Where should I put that bit of code then?

    Download (and install) the Jetpack plugin and use its Custom CSS section of the dashboard to hold your CSS modifications.

    Andrew – Thank you for your help. I took your advice and Jetpack, plus your coding helped. Can I ask you assistance with one more thing in regard to this and then this whole topic will be resolved?

    The box below, “Older Posts”. I would like to make that black as well. Can you please advise what I would need to do for that to change?

    This is what Chrome’s developer tool showed me [screenshot], can you work out the CSS from there?

    LOL! Not 100% sure I understand all of it, but I got it to work. Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate you taking the time to point me in the right direction. I hope you enjoy the remainder of the weekend. Cheers. ??
