  I would like to keep my currently selected background on my blog for all of my old posts but would like to create a second background that I could periodically use for special posts. How do I do this??

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

  You can’t. One custom background for the whole blog is all you can set.

  You could do that with custom CSS if you have purchased one of the WordPress.com plans. If that sounds like something you’d be interested in trying out, please post a specific example of a special post and the background image you’d like to use for it in the CSS forum at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/css-customization/#postform and someone will help you out with an example.
