you didn't say which welcome
anyways do the following.. this is what I do on most pages anyways.. select all text around the area you want to change and then look at it's source. most browsers allow you to look at the source.. that gives you a hint as to which class in the css to fix. like on yours where it says Welcome to yadda yadda in the yellow the source is..
[]
<font class="welcome"> Welcome to the SoCAPS Photo Gallery!</font>
[/]
so by looking at it appears to be the welcome class and is probably either the lackof a background: #yadda yadda or the wrong color in the welcome yadda yadda..
