Look in the Body tag of your CSS

[howser]

More specifically, try something like this:

body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #000000;
background: url(../images/paper002.jpg);
background-color: #996666; <--change this to the blue code that you're already using.
}

For a centered header, there are a couple of ways. I typically edit my copy of tpl_header.php (not the original, the one in YOUR template directory) and create a DIV ID for the logo. Then use css to create a float for that div id. Like this:

#CardLogo {
float: center;
}

Where CardLogo is the name of the div id I used (capitalization does matter)

The other is to edit the tpl_header.php and manually center it, however I like to keep as much formatting as possible in the .css files.

Add this to your style sheet:

TABLE.header TD {
  text-align: center;
}

that should center your logo.

There is no "float: center;...

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--

find at the first lines

BODY {
background-color: #e5edf5; / example color
color: #000000;
margin: 0px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding: 0px;
font: 11px Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
}

Add padding to your stylesheet.css

TABLE.header {
background: #ffffff;
/*background-image: url(../images/header_bg.jpg);*/
background-repeat: repeat-x;
width: 750px !important;
background-color: #ffffff;
border-right: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
border-left: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
border-bottom: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
padding:0 266px 0 266px;
}

check it in all browsers to make sure it works for all of them. I've only tested this in Firefox.

I'm having a similar problem. I think I'm missing an obvious change somewhere. I created my own template folder, includes/templates/sr(myfolder)/css

and included a file that is stylesheet.css

In the admin I updated the template to my folder. I've tried changing the body background color in my stylesheet.css file, but it doesn't seem to work in two places. One is the background color, which doesn't change from the blue. The other is the width, where I tried giving the main wrapper a width of 850 px instead of 750. Should I be making these changes someplace else?

Reading between the lines of your post, I think that you have a different set of problems. Could you create a new thread for them (ideally giving us a link to the current state of your site) and I'll take a look.
