I've reduced the webpage size of my site and wanted to change the color on either side of the webpage. I tried editing the style.css but when I changed background it colored the center stories on the website. I prefer the center stories area to remain white.
Also in the FCKeditor, how to you expand the editable area and configure to automatically open in "full feature" ?
Thanks

For FCKeditor you can try to add
FCKConfig.AutoGrowMax = 400 ;
to your public_html/fckeditor/myconfig.js file. This will make the editable area to "grow" automatically until 400px. You can set this limit with FCKConfig.AutoGrowMax value.
For the full feature by default you need to edit public_html/javascript/storyeditor_fckeditor.js or/and public_html/javascript/staticpages_fckeditor.js and change
to
For your css question, you must also set a rule for your content background.

As you will see you can also set the the editable area (textarea) height in public_html/javascript/storyeditor_fckeditor.js or/and public_html/javascript/staticpages_fckeditor.js
where 200 is the default height in pixels.

Thank you very much for your response and because of you my task is nearly down. However, there remains an area between the story column and the left block column that shows a black line between. I've scoured the style.css but I can't find this last piece of the puzzle. Is it the block or story? Please review at http://www.archangelreport.com ... thanks!

I am not so sure though...
This is a screen shot of your site with Chrome and its html/css analysis tool.

Also see another shot.
https://picasaweb.google.com/117673518873737010187/20111220#5688077713441776306
Notice the right bottom of the second shot, a tool box of Chrome.
The black bar left of article disappeared when "width: 10px;" disabled.
background: transparent;
width: 10px;
height: 1px;
}
Hope this would help.
