TipsFor your blog posts and clips, we have an "image-centric" mode that displays the title as an overlay on the images, like so: It looks great that way, but some sites like to add background shading to the title text as well, so it looks more like this: To achieve that affect, you'll want to add this CSS to your site: .title-image-title h2, .title-image-title h3 { padding:5px; background-color:rgba(95, 158, 160,0.4); } You can easily change the background color to what you want using the...
