    am working on site and I need some help with two things.

    1. Featured Content Gallery isn’t working for me. I found that it
    interferes with ligthbox. So i found a new plugin named cincopa.
    However when I plugin the cincopa number it doesn’t appear in the
    slideshow area. So i decided to use an html code no luck
    either.Does anybody know when I can place the html gallery into the
    php page?
    Or an alternative way to place this gallery.

    here is the gallery html link.

    Code:
    WordPress plugin


    2. How to change the color of the light grey? I have played around
    with the css but I need further assistance with the colour change?
    here is the website
    http://www.nevahurd.com.
    As you can see the the back area I have successful changed the
    background and sidebar widget part!
    However I want to change the light grey to a darker color so the yellow text is more prominent?

    Here is my css code.

    Code:
    /*
    /* ***GLOBAL*** */
    @import url(reset.css);

    @import url(custom.css);

    body {background: #1E1E1E url(images/back-body.gif) repeat-x; font: 11px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #575757; } /*5e5e5e*/

    h1 {font-size:26px; color: #ffff99 }

    h2 {font-size: 24px; color: #ffff99; padding: 0 }

    h3 {font-size: 20px; color: #ff0000 }

    h4 {font-size: 18px; color: #5b4e64 }

    h5 {font-size: 16px; color: #fa4700 }

    h6 {font-size: 14px; color: #000 }

    p {margin:5px 0 14px 0; line-height: 130% }

    strong, b, caption, th {font-weight: bold }

    for your second question you need to change the colour values of: #sidebar ul li a:hover, #sidebar ul li a:active, #sidebar ul li a:visited and #sidebar to change the sidebars background
