CSS How to Make a Website Styling Web Pages and Navigation Style the Portfolio

Navigation text

The Nav. text on the website is highlighted in white even though I declared the background color pink. The background around the text changes but the text is still highlighted white.

Hi Judy,

Are you saying that you have white text and a pink background but you wanted pink text?

You have to change the color property if you want to change the text color.

color: pink;

Hi,

The color of the text itself is fine but the background of the text is white and the background of the whole block is pink. How do I make the background of the text the same as the rest of the background?

Can you post the css you have at this point?
