I am having trouble adding HTML5 (background colours and colours) to my website within the WordPress editor

Question

Here is a list of the research that I have done. First I looked how to do it on the internet and I found this site.

Then I asked a friend and he suggested that I do this with the code, and as an example, gave this:

<head>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">

</head>

so in HTML

<h1 class"best-header-ever"> Header </h1>

then in CSS

.best-header-ever {

color: blue;}

I don't know if he was doing it in the right order so the above, is the most information I have of an alternative strategy

Now I am working on this, again in the WordPress editor:

.best-header-ever{color: blue;}





<header> header

link rel="stylesheet" type=text/css href=styles.css



[header/]

(this text to the left was part of the website-->)This is a contact page with some basic contact information and a contact form.

[contact-form]<span id="mce_SELREST_start" style="overflow:hidden;line-

height:0;"></span>[contact-field label="Name" type="name" required="1"/]

[contact-field label="<span id="mce_SELREST_start" 

style="overflow:hidden;line-height:0;"></span> Email" type="email" 

required="1"/][contact-field label="Website" type="url"/][contact-field 

label="Comment" type="textarea" required="1"/][/contact-form]



body/

I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I would like to add background colour to the font and text. Oh, I have also been working on freecodecamp.org as research.

I am trying to learn how to do this work without the security net of freecodecamp to improve my skills.

Also, I don't know if I can even add HTML5 to HTML (everything from contact form to /contact form was being registered by the computer, but when I added any other characters, no background colours or colours would display).

This is what the page looks like:

myedit_pic

I don't know if this makes a difference, but the WordPress editor has buttons:

wordpress-editor-interface

Answer 1

I suggest you use background-color: instead of color:. Color will just change the text color, or the color of the words inside that header. Using background-color will change the background color.
