    I have the Search widget on my blog, but it’s hardly visible until you click on it (so you almost have to know it’s there). How do I get it to be white type on the black background so that it can be seen?

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

    You are asking about customizing your CSS, which can be done from the Customize>CSS area, because you have already purchased the Custom Design upgrade.

    If you are interested in learning more about CSS so you can have more control over the design of your WordPress.com site, this documentation is a great place to start. Pay special attention to the list of articles at the bottom.

    How do I get it to be white type on the black background so that it can be seen?

    You can try this CSS to change the word “search” to white when not in focus: 

    #searchform input{
color:white;
}

    For more in depth CSS help, generally you’ll want to use our CSS forums, as that is where the CSS experts reside.
