How do I set a color background within part of an individual post?

  • Still new to Word Press; third forum post, don’t know code. I am using Twenty Eleven as my theme and I’m placing content on posts in my blog. Here’s my problem. In the past I sent pdf newsletters to friends. Now I want to reconstruct one of those and have that as part of a post. So I would like to start normally but then make something like a text box or frame with a single color background into which I’ll reconstruct the text and pictures that were in the original newsletter. Is there some way, some plug-in or method by which I can make this color background to appear within a post, to highlight and set it off from the beginning of the post? And still be able to use all the normal functions to format the text and pictures that appear on top of the color background underneath it? Sorry if that’s not clear but hopefully you’ll get my gist. Thanks so much, Mark

  • To do this you’ll need to learn more about HTML and CSS.

    You can add in something like this:

    <div style="background: #FFCCCC;">
<p>Your content goes in here</p>
</div>

    Of course you’ll want to change the colour value for the background to something that you want, but that will give you a basic “wrapper” around an area.
