  I am trying to get my widget text box on my site a different colour? Ideally they would be one block of colour with the text overlaying it?

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

  Hi there, Go to Appearance > Customize > CSS, delete all the informational text in that window, and paste in the following custom CSS to give your text widgets a black background with white text. The second rule below adds some margin around the text so that it isn’t right up against the edges of the black area. The thinner black bit between the two widgets is the empty text widget you have in the sidebar.

  .widget_text {
      background-color: #000;
      color: #fff;
  }
  .widget_text .textwidget {
      margin: 20px;
  }
