When you have multiple authors on a Blogger blog and want to make a specific post stand-out, you can change anytime the background color of your posts or apply a background image behind them. And this can be easily done by wrapping the post's HTML in a 'div' element. You can apply this trick to your already published posts or you can change/remove it later if that's your wish.
So, this tutorial will show you how to style each post differently by adding some code snippets in your Blogger posts.
Step 1. Log in to your Blogger account, click on your blog and press the 'New Post' button.
<div color: #3d85c6;">#444; color:
#fff; padding: 10px;">
Your text goes here...
</div> Note:
- replace the hex value
in blue to change the background color and the color value
in green with the color of the post's text. You can use this Color Code Generator tool to pick your favorite color.
- "Your text here...." is where the Post content should go, i.e. between the
<div ></div> tags.
How to Add a Background Image in a Blogger Post
If you want to add a background image in a post, add the following code just at the beginning and end of the post content:
<div color: blue;">IMAGE-URL-HERE); background-size: cover; color: #000; padding: 10px;">Your text goes here...
</div>
Note:
- paste the URL address of your hosted picture (use Photobucket, Tinypic etc.) where it says
IMAGE-URL-HERE- the
line in red and the
</div> tag has to be added at the beginning and at the end of the post's HTML.
- if the background image is dark, then you will need to change the text color - replace the
#000 color value with
#fff- "Your text here...." is where your Post content should go.
Step 3. Now click the 'Publish' button and you are done.
