I want to delete the color panel behind my title text, so that the background image is seen.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi, do you mean something like this?
```
#site-title a {
	background:none;
}
```
Doing this makes the blog title less readable, though.

Please understand that I am a complete idiot about these things. Would I put that on that little CSS sheet that pops up when you click on Appearance, customize, css?

Would I type just those “words” on the css sheet, or would I transcribe the entire header copy in the element section of the theme’s css?

Please forgive me if I am asking stupid questions.

Oh, my God. It worked. Thank you.

Now for my two other questions:

(1) How do I change the color of the widget titles?

(2) How do I close up the padding on the sidebar?

Widget titles color change:
```
.widget-title,
.widget-title a {
	color: #000000 !important;
}
```
Replace #000000 with the color you want. This is a called a hex code. You can get the hex code for any colors here: http://html-color-codes.info

For sidebar padding:
```
.widget-area {
	padding: 0.5em !important;
}
```
You can tweak the number yourself. The original value is 1em.

Color code worked great. Thanks.

Padding only worked at top of sidebar. I’m looking to reduce the space between the widgets themselves, and the leading between the lines inside the widgets (like the categories widget).

Thanks again.

Another question: in Bouquet, I want to remove the word “archives” from the top of my category pages. Tried bunches of code, none worked. Any thoughts?

For the spacing below the widgets, add the following and adjust the padding value as desired.
```
.widget {
    padding-bottom: 1em;
}
```
For the line height in the widgets, add the following and adjust the line-height as desired (it was 1.65em originally).
```
.widget ul li {
    padding-bottom: 0;
    line-height: 1.2em;
}
```

Thank you! Did you see the last question I raised: about removing the Archives from the top of my category pages?

I’ve tried bunches of code, none of which has worked.

Hi. The link you provided is for this site. And I can’t find where else I posted (except the original question, which has no answers that I can see).

Whoops, sorry about that. I’ve lost the thread now – or lost my mind. :)

To remove “Archive” from the top of category, archive and tags pages in Bouquet, add the following CSS.
```
.archive-title {
    display: none;
}
```
