Backgrounds

Okay, I've been working on my first ever web template (totally Notepad, hehe), and there's one part I'm stuck on. I want a similiar background effect to my friend's (JonM's) blog page:

http://jonmdonald.joolo.com/blog.php

As you see the main area is grey and you got the impression that there's all black behind it.

I've got a CSS file all ready for editting - do I need to change the background entry or something?:

Thanks guys.

Chris

No no no not background colour lol.

Like on the page, there's a grey area where everything is, then there's a bit of black all around it. I want a similiar effect like that.

He hasn't been online lately you know?

I did go view the Source a while ago but couldn't be bothered to narrow down where it is. I might know where it is now. I think I may have got it sussed...

** EDIT **

Okay, I scrapped this - and now, I'm aiming for something a bit different. In my CSS, I have this:

Code:
/* Border */
p.dashed {border-style: dashed}
In my HTML body, I have this:
Code:
<p class="dashed">A dashed border.
Now, what I want is so the border will be around everything (paragraphs, headers, etc.). I tried putting the </p> at the end of the document but no luck. Any help guys?

Thanks.

Chris

Sorry I've been working and stuff. But I'll be on when I'm usually on tonight. Try to help you there. Next off, I'm not sure, but try something like:

Code:
/*border*/
#border { 
  border-style: 1px #FFF thin;
}

<p id="border">Hey, this is just a border test. </p>
We'll talk later
