Good question! Sorry, I should have been more precise.
Ideally I would have liked to have the title showing on both mouse-hover as well as in the project box itself. However, I can do with just copying the title into the excerpt, but then I just need the project box to show the title instead of a snippet of its content. So, in other words; I basically only want the background colour to change on mouse-hover and have the titles always appearing – except if there’s a featured image.
Hope that makes better sense.
Thanks,
