How to make background color different above <br>?

Time:12-25

I'm trying to make a little indie game site, and I'd like to make the section of each entry that contains the title and tags of the game a lighter green than the portion holding the description and picture.

h2 {

I've tried changing the background color of my h2 and .tags elements, but that just sends a light green line across the entire screen. Ideally, I'd like to keep the shape of my boxes and simply change the color above the < br>. All suggestions appreciated!

CodePudding user response:

Put the h2 and p tag in a div and change the background color of that, rather than the individual tags.

So change this

<h2>Hollow Knight</h2>
<p >Difficult, Souls-like</p></div>

To this

<div >
   <h2>Hollow Knight</h2>
   <p >Difficult, Souls-like</p>
</div>

Set the upper section CSS to

.upper-section {
  background-color: #39cb34;
}

You should get something like this.

.upper-section {
  background-color: #39cb34;
}

p {
    font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
}

h2 {
    padding-left: 2px;
    padding-right: 2px;
}

.tags {
    font-style: italic;
    font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;
}

article {
    background-color: #67aa69;
    text-align: center;
    width: 30%;
    padding: 2;
    position: relative;
    border-radius: 10%;
    
}
<article>
