   Hello, I have a few issues I need assistance with in customizing the CSS for my blog -

   1. when I upgraded to custom CSS, it removed the color I had chosen for a background and it went to default grey. I'd like to know which part of the code to update with the color I want (#FBFBE8)

   2. the default header design for this template includes tabs in the header space. how can I remove them?

   3. is it possible to add white space between the header and the entry and sidebar space? if so, how can I control this using css?

   thank you in advance!

   The blog I need help with is olivewoodstudios.wordpress.com.

   Did you look over the stickied threads about learning CSS? Perhaps you might try there.

   thank you, but I'm not sure what "stickied threads" are. I reviewed the wordpress support site, W3 schools advice, and searched the forums for relevant info before asking here.

   1. Add this:

   body {background:#fbfbe8;}

   2. You don't need CSS for that - just create and load a blank custom menu.
   (Appearance>Menus: type a name in the Menu Name field, click Create, click Save, select that menu from the pulldown in the Theme Locations module, Save.)

   3. Add this:

   #header {margin-bottom:24px;}

   (Change the number to adjust the space.)

   PS If you're using Firefox, install the Firebug and Aardvark add-ons: help you identify selectors.
