Good evening.

My first entry contains a small picture and a poem beneath it. I want the color of the entry to be black to match the picture. The background color icon does not work in IE or Firefox. Is there an html tag I could add that would force the color change?

Thank you.

Can you post a URL to your site so we can see it?

Here it is. Thanks for replying.

As you can see, the background is brown like the template, even though I have chosen the little bucket icon to change the color. It does nothing when I select it.

Did I do something wrong already? I can see that the one and only respondent is active elsewhere.

Well you are using some kind of WYSIWYG-Editor, I presume.
But there should be a switch to view the html code it produces.
There just add <div style="background-color:#000;"> in front and a closing </div> at the end.
This will add a black background color to the whole entry.

Thank you. It worked like a charm!
