My site is www.lifesrants.com, on the left sidebar is where I have my menu located in red. I would like to add underneath in the white. When I add, that all goes to red. Is there a way to keep the red, but add content into the white?

Thanks

We would need some more information, like how you are editing your page. Are you editing the html? Or using some kind of program? Or is this through your web host?

I am editing it through HTML on my dashboard under theme editor.
I do have dreamweaver, but hate to use it for fixing.

By viewing the source code it looks like everything is done in div tags. You can add a background-color as a style attr. to a div tag. Personally, I would put the whole thing inside a table with each section in its own td, then give the red color to the td tags you want that color and leave the rest blank so that they match what ever background you care to use.

Personally, I like the way it is now, but just want to add to the white. If I add a color tag to the white, will that work?

Something like <font size="1" color="white">

the "color=" attr. defines the color of the font, You would have to use "background:#ffffff" or "background-color:#ffffff" inside of a style tag.

(#ffffff is the color code for white)

example:
<div style="background-color:#FFFFFF">

I think when you write some words, you can change the background-colour into red! Try it?!
