A Bit of help….

[afrokeys]

I'm a complete newb to genesis and coding in general....but I have a couple "how to" questions...
The first: How do i create colored boxes for the sidebar widgets to go into?

The second: At my sites blog page, http://buybeats.org/blog/ I cannot get the full blog post to show up for some reason...Only the excerpt. Is there a way to show the full post with embedded video and etc?

Thank you,
Erick

For the second question, from your WordPress dashboard,
click on Genesis > Theme Settings
Then find the section titled Content Archives, find
Select one of the following: and use the drop down to choose Display post content.
You can choose any of the other settings too.

For the first question, you can try finding a selector called .sidebar .widget in your styles.css
Then you can add a background color, like this:

.sidebar .widget {
background-color: #000;
}

That color is black. #ff0000 is red. You can also use color names like this:
.sidebar .widget {
background-color: gray;
padding: 12px;
}

If you want to do this only for a particular widget, then you have to find the name of that widget using Firebug. I also added padding in the second example because I think you'll need some.
