Help with small changes to Tumblr theme? Options

[ubiami]

Hi,
I'm trying to make minor changes to my tumblr theme but the coding I am editing is a bit more haphazard than what I'm used to, wondering if anyone could tell me how to:

1. change the margin widths so that both the top and bottom margin above and below images is equal (at the moment, there is a much smaller gap above the image than below, as relative to the lines dividing each post...hope that makes sense)

2. remove the lines dividing each post (need to know how to do both 1 and 2 because I haven't quite decided which I prefer yet)

3. change the background colour - when I try to change it at the moment, it does change but not to the colour I specify, it chooses some other colour - wondered if maybe there was some code overriding my choice??

Thanks!

For the div with class .post, change padding: 20px 0px 60px 78px; to padding: 20px 0px 0px 78px;.

2. remove the lines dividing each post (need to know how to do both 1 and 2 because I haven't quite decided which I prefer yet)

Remove the border-top: 1px solid #CCC; rule from that same .post class.

3. change the background colour - when I try to change it at the moment, it does change but not to the colour I specify, it chooses some other colour - wondered if maybe there was some code overriding my choice??

What did you try that didn't work? Do you want to change the background-color of the BODY or of the content (which would be the #wrapper div)? Mind you that #wrapper div (besides a white background-color) also has border: 10px solid black; specified to it. You might like to change that too, to better match your new background-color.

Thankyou very much! I have fixed it now and am happy with it

Actually, one more thing I have just noticed - how do I make sure all image posts are centred regardless of their different widths?

This helped me out too!
