hiya all. wonder if this has been answered. looked through but so far nothing.

i wanted to make 2 separate colours to make my entries look nicer. here's my blog at the moment. because my background's #333333 and my font's #CCCCCC, it looks kinda monotonous if i've got like long entries...

so was wondering, is there any tag which allows me to alternate the bg colour of the entries? let's say 1st entry's bg is #333333 then second's #666666. there's this sufficient contrast to show diff entries...

i could do like table borders but too much lines would make this layout messy...

Yes, you can do this. One method uses a plugin called Round Robin and the other uses PHP.
