  No need to use HTML — you can add a background image at Appearance -> Background in your dashboard.

  I know that, I was talking about using a background image in a posting.

  I have been using http://www.w3schools.com to learn HTML. I used the code there for background image, its works on that site but not for WordPress.

  Does WordPress have a code for using an image as background in a post?

  The best way to change the background color (or image) for your posts would be to edit your site’s CSS. You can do this with the custom design upgrade:

  Alternatively, you could use the HTML span tag to add a background image behind the text on your blog post:
  <span style="background: url('image-URL');">Your post content.</span>

  This uses a combination of HTML and CSS.
