    I'd like to change the background color of the area outside my blog's body (http://www.spanish-bites.com/). Basically, I'd like it to look like this forum page.

    How do I do that in the Balance theme?

    Should work to just add a width to #wrap.

    I recommend installing the Firebug add on for Firefox or using Chrome's Firebug Lite which will enable you to right click on any element to inspect it and determine the associated style rules or the selectors required to create new style rules.
