   How can I frame an individual post and/or change background colour of an post?
   Here is one example about what I mean:

   hello heinakenka,

   welcome to the wordpress support forums.

   To create such a box, you need two things:

   #1 A XHTML and CSS Design for your box - to know what wordpress should output.

   #2 A theme -or- a plugin that supports such things.

   The way I would do it:

   #1 Create a CSS class to create the frame. That is defining the border and background. Adding this to my themes CSS file.

   #2 Creating a customvalue that remarks if a post should be framed or not.

   #3 Editing the theme for any display of posts checking the the custom value. If it is set, the additional XHTML will be added. The Post will then be spawned inside a div like <div class="myframe">standard output</div>.

   You find a lot of information about editing themes and wordpress API in the codex.
