Adding a background image to a specific entry - Solved!

Going through the tags, I found that there was a question on whether adding a background image to entries can be done. I have a similar question: is it possible to add it to a specific entry? For example, a sticky post, with text going over the picture instead of being written on it using a photo editing program

yes, I think. when posting your entry (don't post in rich text), write
(including the triangle brackets) at the very top. When you're finished your post, write

So it looks like:

post blah blah

Then, add .sticky {background-image: url(http://);} to your css. Replace http:// with your image url.

Wonderful! It worked. Thank you so much, I'm going to use this on my regular LJ in a Friends Only post. Could you tell me if I will have to add some line breaks to the actual post, or simply add a height (is the correct term) attribute?

I'm not sure, but it should work, I think.

It did, I just had to be careful to put the correct height in pixels, otherwise the image repeats. Adding no-repeat didn't stop it, but I'm satisfied either way.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it!
