Simple Beginner Questions - CSS Options

[redciv2]

Okay, I'm not exactly new but I took a long break and now don't remember much of anything...and searching comes up with such broad results.

So here are some simple questions:

How do you put a border around different things? I don't want all my border colors the same. Is that possible? I want one color around blog, one around the top part with the name and picture.

Also, how do you change the main background?

I've used the CSS, but I am not sure what exactly is what. I've changed the background/background but the background of the main part. Does that make since?

Thanks.

The thing is not all regular codes work in myspace. To change the main backround just find this part in your css and change it. If you don't have it just add it.

CODE

background: ######  url("");
background-position: bottom right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;

That only changed the background behind the white area.

I'm good at coding websites and other blog sites like Xanga...I just can't seem to get the hang of MySpace again.

Ok your not making since? the code I gave you will cover the main bg . as in everything but the tables.

Edit: I figured that background out!

Secondly, I tried that other code and it didn't work either. Nothing happened actually. Another person in that same thread said it didn't work for them either. So here...maybe I can ask one by one...
How do I put a border around the blog section?
How do I put a border around the section with the name, picture, etc.?
I want these to be DIFFERENT colored borders.

Sorry...it's really hard to explain.

But thanks for helping.
