    Is there a way to highlight / outline a single paragraph within a blog post with a background color or border?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    <p style="border:2px solid #HEX_NUMBER;
background-color:#HEX_NUMBER;
padding-left:.5em;padding-right:.5em;
color:#HEX_NUMBER;">
PARAGRAPH_TEXT_HERE
</p>

    code means
    start the paragraph
    a 2px thick solid border with a color you specify
    background with a color you specify
    padding so there is some space between the edge and the paragraph
    color of the text which you can specify
    your paragraph text
    end paragraph

    (note, you must type your code into the html editor, not the visual editor)
