[1] How do I change the background colour of my page?
To change the background colour in a normal html page you would change the <body> tag of your page to include the colour specification: <body bgcolor="#AABBCC">. In the CMS, though, you don't have access to the <body> tag. One way to change the background of your page is to enclose all of your text in a <div> tag with the appropriate background colour:
<div style="background-color: #f0f7ff">
Some text, images, etc.
</div>
Note that if you are concerned with people using Internet Explorer being able to see this rendered correctly, put an empty <span> tag at the end of your <div> block:
<div style="background-color: #f0f7ff">
Some text, images, etc.
<span></span>
</div>
This is just a kludge to fix an IE bug.
Also, you can use this same <div> tag trick in Structured Text. I have the feeling that the people who wrote the structured text code would consider this to be very bad form, but they're not here right now, are they....
