Making the black content area transparent

[timothyl]

Hi. Love the theme. Need some help.

Here's my site: http://how.togarden.net/

I have added a background image, and made the black content area semitransparent, however, it makes everything within the content area also transparent. I don't want the content transparent, just the black background. What do I need to do to accomplish that?

here's the tweak I made: to style.css (note the opacity property)

#wrapper {
margin-top: 20px;
padding: 0 20px;
position: relative;
background-color: #000;
opacity: 0.9;
}

I tried using your code to change my background from black, but nothing changed. What am I doing wrong? I'm NOT a coder! Help!
