title: CSS Styling (Text, and paragraph backgrounds)
body: <p>I wish to create a site that displays paragraphs of my information with say a white background, and I want the paragraph background to be black, but with a low opacity as to clearly distinguish it from the rest with a different color and 100% opacity for the text I'm displaying. I can't seem to figure out how to do this however.</p>
  
  <p>So far I've tried to change the background of the entire document to a light blue, change the text to white and change the paragraph background to black and lower the opacity. The background color changed as did the text however the paragraph background didn't show up at all. Even after I had deleted the opacity value to make sure I wasn't just making the opacity too low. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could solve this. I'd greatly appreciate all the help you have to offer me.</p>

    <p>body{   background:#00FFFF;   font-family:arial; } p{
      background:#000000; } div{  color:white; }</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Div is wrapped around my text inside of the paragraph </p>
