    I am trying to make a textbox with a grey background.
    http://www.rosamundcoady.com/about/

    I have tried to make a class but I dont think I put it in the right place (the Header section in Editor?)
    Im really new at css so dont really know how it works.

    I would really appreciate some advice while I start to design this site.

    Thanks so much!

      Well first of all your class right now is "<div class="backy"></div>". That's not a class, that's html code ^^

      Just write "backy" there without "

      Then in lay options -> misc options, in to the CSS fields write something like:

          padding: 2%;
          box-sizing: border-box;
          background-color: black;

        For some reason I didnt think to put the code in 'misc options' I was putting the code in the editor...

        Great now I can continue with the design!

        thanks so much!

          I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.

          info@laytheme.com

          Before you post:
          1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
          2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
          3. Disable all Plugins
          4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

          This often solves issues you might run into

          When you post:
          1. Post a link to where the problem is
          2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
          3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
