  Hi, very new to CSS… I’m trying to add a background color behind the widget headers on my sidebar, (Categories and Archives) like how the titles of my blog posts currently look but can’t figure it out. Can anyone help???!!

  The first line will set all widget title backgrounds to the same colour. The second line sets the title background for a specific widget. If you want to add more widgets and have them different colours you’ll need to look in the HTML for the relevant ID as I have done here for the categories widget:

  .widget-title {background-color:#7BD1F4; padding:0 5px;}
  #categories-5 .widget-title {background-color:#EE72B0;}

  Thank you again @hallluke! I never would have figured that out.
