Default Anyone awesome with coding... CSS?

OK, so I am always revamping my blog, trying to make it look more professional or whatever.

Well, my Web site is currently being built by Live Books and I thought it be a good time to change a couple things.

Everything is where I want it, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the main text to hex #666666 to match the side bar text. I've tried the obvious things, but none of it's working

If anyone can help me out, have a suggestion or can test and then send me a copy of my source that will work, that would be awesome!

My link is: http://blog.patricksmithphotos.com

Thanks in advance!

Change the CSS for #container so it is color: #666666;

I recommend you get FireBug. Its easy to design pages with it. I just clicked the text in your blog and it told me what CSS applied to it and what it used from each CSS bit.

Flash is never good to design a site in.
CSS is the new big thing.

Nice site...are you able to have the right toolbar float so as you scroll it's tracks down the page? Your front page is a bit long so to get back to the top takes a few scrolls longer than some may like.

html is still used as the foundation of web stuff but these days its all about content/data
