Changing the grey background color to something else

Do you have a section of the dashboard named, “Custom CSS” (or similar) or are you using a Child Theme?

I’m not using Custom CSS but a friend helped me load “My Custom CSS” which now shows up in the left-hand menu.

Not sure what you mean by Child. I’m very new to Word Press. Good with HTML and CSS.

Thanks for speedy reply, are you human?

Are you referring to this grey outlined in red (for illustrative purposes) https://snag.gy/HgjpT.jpg ?

YES. You’re a good listener!

– Click on “Appearance” in the dashboard.
– Then for your Current Theme press the “Customize” link.

Is there an option to upload a background image? If so, is that what you want to do?

I just wanted to change the grey to a more intense blue

In your “My Custom CSS” part of the dashboard add this code:

body {
 background: deepskyblue;
}

That’s great. Thanks for all of your help. You’re clearly an expert at a lot of this and probably do well for your customers!
