    I'd like to have the background show through between the post area and the sidebar as it is in this blog:

    Any help is appreciated. I've adjusted all the paddings, etc. with no luck!

    Looks like you managed it.

    You might want to add

    #sidebar #text-3 {
        margin-top: 0;
    }
    
    .content-sidebar #content, .sidebar-content #content {
        width: 870px;
    }

    to clean it up.

    Basically reduces the gap between the content and sidebar by increasing the width of content and makes content and sidebar at same horizontal level.
