So...I've changed background on my profile, but the text is a little hard to read on a busy background. Whilst I can have the background plain, I've had it grey with black text over it, so at the moment I'd like the change. I've been suggested to have both of the columns be semi transparent, an idea I actually like a lot, so would anyone be able to poke me in the head and tell me how to do that, please? :)

The code to change font color is really simple:

color: ;

Obviously you can change (black) to anything you want - another hex code ( would be white) or a simple color name, such as red, blue, yellow, etc.

The trick is figuring out where to put it. If you're okay with your whole page being the same color font, you can just put it in the body code: body {color: ;}

If you wanted it more targeted (for example, if you wanted one column to be white and the other to be purple), you'd need to be more specific: {color: ;} {color: purple;}

You could even just have certain sections certain colors if you wanted. :)

Also, with CSS, whatever the last code you put in is, that's the one that has the most affect. So let's say you use the body code, but you see that the text is still gray. That means that somewhere down the line something is telling the text to be gray. You can search the coding for this specific spot, or you can add !important to your coding to override it: body {color: !important;}
