hello

i'd like to change the background colour etc of my blog. i've found the bits of code that need modification, ie[body {
margin:0px 0px 10px 0px;
background:#FFFFFF;
}
A { color: #999966; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size:10px; text-decoration: none; font-weight:bold; }
A:link { color: #999966; text-decoration: none; }
A:visited { color: #999966; text-decoration: none; }
A:active { color: #99CC66;  }
A:hover { color: #99CC66;  }
]

but how do i know what a particular colour's code is?

any other hints appreciated too.

You can use a HEX color Program (several available on the web), or the easiest is to just use Webmonkey's Color Reference Code

When you look at those Hex Numbers, there should always generally be 6.  the first two are the red gradient, second two the green and last two the blue.

And a lot of graphic programs will tell you the hex number when you select a color.  That's a nice visual way to do it
