    I am such a nimrod!! I couldn't sleep and wanted to muck around in code for some weird reason. I've been trying to figure out what css class it was that would change the natural box this and all posts go into, with the light golden color as it's default. I always put my posts into my own division so I could set it's own color but all these years and I never figured out how to change the real one!

    Looked in ol' view source code (Elenia made me think of it) and I saw again that old vague one "div class="content" and thought NO SH*T!

    sorry. ignore me. Seriously years to figure out to add in one for content with a color set of my own choosing. wow.

    For anyone curious, all I did was include this in the post's css:

      <style type="text/css">
      .content {color: #54ff9f}
      </style>

    I've no clue if any of that made any sense. If your new to css and wondering, Jot gave the body of posts the division class name of "content" and in his external css file that determines most of the css in AW's pages, he gave that "content" class a pale golden color. (which i loathe for some reason). Css is a last-word kind of code, so if I put 85 different .content {color: #blah} in my css, the last one would determine the color of the box holding this post. By the way, it also changed the title color as the color: #blah is determining the color for the whole page.

    Sorry, I'm just so stoked I finally figured this one out!
