Solved Overlay Post Title on Featured Image

    My home page features my most recent blog post. I would like the post title to overlay on the featured image with large type (lower left corner) and a translucent background to aid in readability. This would be for the home page only—the actual blog post would be styled in a more traditional way. I've googled my little heart out trying to do what I thought would be relatively simple, but ... no luck. Could someone suggest what CSS code to add and where? Truly appreciate the help!

    Hello, are you able to link to the page you want help with?
    Alternatively, post a picture on someone else's page that has the solution you want, this would make it easier to understand exactly what you mean.

    Here is the effect I'm looking to create. The latest blog post would appear at the top of the home page—just the featured image with the blog post title layered on top, with a 40% black tone behind it. No other information at all. Totally clean. Thanks for whatever help you might offer.

    Hey Ken,

    You could do this with the Blog module, like so:

    1) Set "Blog Settings > Content > Content > Post Count" = 1
    2) Disable everything except the featured image in the "Blog Settings > Content > Elements" settings section.
    3) Add the following into "Blog Settings > Advanced > Custom CSS > Module Elements > Title":

    Code:
    Log In or Sign Up to view this code.
    You'll probably need to play around with the margins / padding in that CSS to position it the way you want, but it will hopefully get you close to what you need.

    Hope that helps!
