Hello there,
I am asking for some help to add a black or gray background behind the text on my header posts. Right now, the font is practically illegible so I want to make it easier to read.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Try a bit of text shadow:
```
.site-container {
    max-width: 75em;
    text-shadow: 1px 1px 5px #000;
}
```

Thank you! That helped a little bit but it is still a bit difficult to read. Hrmm… will have to keep trying a solution.

Actually – that doesn’t work, I just realized. If I add that code, it makes the entire text on my homepage have a shadow where I only want it to be on the header. >_<;

Maybe this?
```
.banner-text {
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.5) !important;
}
```
