Hi all, need your help please! This morning my homepage changed background colors from black to gray. No commands were done to make this change happen, I have not fooled with colors in weeks. It just, well, happened! (...feel like one of my kids saying that, and this too "I didn't do it!")

Two things for you DG folks:

1. Why would this happen, or beter yet, how I can make sure it does not happen again? (Fortuately, I don't mind the gray too much, but what if it were pink, or green, or bright red!)

2. How can I get it back to the black background color?

Thanks for help, very much appreciated. Shane

Oh, the site is www.shanecanfieldphotography.com and I use the SM Pro level service.

    I need help. I changed the background-color but that doesn't change the WHOLE page. I just get my color in all the boxes and seem to be stuck with white or black for a background. I thought picking a color for the BODY tag would give me the whole page in that color. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.
    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, however, there is.

    could you provide a link to your site, and the page in question that shows what you are asking about?

    hi art...you've got some confusion going on in your stylesheet is all.

    css uses the attribute:value; notation where html uses the attribute="value" notation.

    in your stylesheet you have: 
    body {font-family: Verdana, Arial Rounded MT Bold, Arial;
 [color=Orange]background-color="lightskyblue" ; color="midnightblue"[/color]}
    which should be: 
    body {font-family: Verdana, Arial Rounded MT Bold, Arial;
 [color=Orange]background-color: lightskyblue; color: midnightblue;[/color]}

    the highlighted lines are what needs to be changed.
