Hey! I only starting learning html two days ago and I'm struggling a bit with my neocities site.
Can someone please help me figure out where I am going wrong with my code? My site has one big 'box' down the middle where I have my content and the background is intended to be a separate colour.
However, I cannot get them to be separate colours for the life of me. (This is for the entire page so I'll try to cut down on the unnecessary bits)
This is the colour I am trying to make the bigger box - #8FBC8B
EDIT: It's fixed now, thanks! :D I had no idea a single hashtag could mess it up lolollll
