I'd like to create an effect where the post title and meta has a background that comes from the left edge of the page and surrounds it, but I'm a novice with this sort of thing. I'd like to add a div around the post title and meta to accomplish this, but I'm unclear where this is found. It seems that "the loop" is being called, does this get created in archives.php? Thanks I would love to hear some helpful advice on achieving this effect. My other stumbling block is that the title and meta divs are inside the content div, but this background would (again) travel all the way to the edge of the page. I hope this makes sense.
