I want to put certain content of my post in a box like thing and give a background color. Can Table be used with 1 row, 1 column or is there any option?

Just wrap it in a <div> element, and then style that element to have a background using CSS. Use tables only for tabulated data, not for presentation.

Switch to text/HTML mode in post editor and use the div tag like this,
```
<div class="bg-colour-red">Put some content here. This div which will have red background.



blah blah blah



</div>
```
And, this to Custom CSS
```
.bg-colour-red {

background: #FF0000;

}
```
