Customizing Your Back Page Pro Listing With CSS
If you’re looking to customize your personal listing on Back Page Pro, you can do so with some custom CSS. In this article, we’ll cover some easy CSS tricks to get your profile looking great so it really stands out!
What is a CSS?
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are used in web pages to control the appearance of elements like text, images and backgrounds. You may already be familiar with using CCS for things like margins and font size — but did you know that they let you change an image’s color, or add shadows and transparency?

The default font size and colors may not be ideal for your personal ad; you should feel free to adjust them however you see fit!
Background Images & Shadows – Use your own background images for either a solid color or image behind each listing’s main body text. Also, apply
