How to Give Your Synopsis a Background

So this isn't a book-related post, but I often get comments asking: 'how do you give the synopsis a background in your posts?' Hopefully this will help those people.. Just comment if my instructions are terrible and unclear! I'm just going to insert a page break here, so this post doesn't get in the way of my normal posts...

An example of a synopsis with a background/border...

1) Start a new post. Switch the draft of your post from 'compose' to 'html'. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, look across the toolbar below the post title, and find the button at the left which says 'html'.

2) Once you're on 'html', copy and paste the following code:

<div style="-moz-border-radius: 15px 15px 15px 15px; background-color: #cdffe6; border: 2px dashed #9999FF; padding: 15px;"> The synopsis goes here </div>.

Insert the synopsis where I've written 'The synopsis goes here' in bold...

3)  Once you've done this, you can switch back to 'compose' and you're done. Note: the background doesn't show up in the draft, just in the preview or published version.

4) If you want to change the colours, note where it says #cdffe6 and #9999FF......... One of them changes the background colour, and the other changes the border colour. I use this website, to change the codes. For example, I could just put #ADFFAD in place of #cdffe and the colour of the background would change!

I hope that somewhat helped! Oh, and I thought I'd mention that I've just received Fearless by Cornelia Funke for review from Chicken House – I can't wait to start it!
