  Hi all,

  I want to make the text box of my posts transparent over top of the images.
  My basic requirements are
  – The text box (inc title, first paragraph, tags etc) over top of the image so that the text box is bottom aligned with the image.
  – The text is still visible even if the image is black (I can play around with the transparency)

  The theme is Twenty Fourteen

  Many thanks, Brad

  Hi @captainstubbies, it looks like you are using WordPress but you are not hosted here at WordPress.com. For self-hosted WordPress sites such as yours using Twenty Fourteen, I would suggest asking in the dedicated Twenty Fourteen Support Forum at WordPress.org.

  For general questions on self-hosted WordPress.org installations, visit http://wordpress.org/support/.

  The differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.

  I did take a quick look at your site and with the way that Twenty Fourteen is designed, it is probably going to take making a child theme and then modifying some of the theme files to do this in a way that works for all screen/window widths.
