featured content

Hi, At first: how is it possible to add an image to this topic? That makes communicatie a lof easier, I think. I have on the frontpage 6 featured content pages. Now the whole featured content section has got another background color. But, what I should like is that the all the featured content parts of the section get a new background color so that there will be a blanc gap between the content parts. Is that possible? Kind regards Hans Hagmeijer
