    Is there an easy way to change the background color of just one post in prose? I think I did it a long time ago (or someone did it for me) and I completely forgot how! Thanks!

    Hi Cathy,

    Each page and post has a unique identifier, so you can use that in your CSS selector to single-out one post or page.

    For your post http://cathygoodwinmarketing.com/copy-intuition/ , post #9054, you would use:

    body.postid-9054 {background: lime;}

    For your page http://cathygoodwinmarketing.com/copywriting-to-get-results-and-free-up-your-time/

    body.page-id-3534 {background: blue;}

    Bob Dunn tells us how to find the ID: http://bobwp.com/heck-find-post-page-category-id/

    And I just add this to the CSS in the editor, correct? Thank you!

    Yes, I should have been more specific. That'll be fine.
