[Solved] :first-letter of only one paragraph

[emma]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to make one of those snazzy drop caps for my sidebar column, but I find it tricky to get it to look the way I want.

p:first-letter kind of does the trick but instead of targeting all the first letters of paragraphs, I would like only the very first one to be larger. This is what my html looks like:

Code:

My column

Lorem ipsum…

Lorem ipsum…

Is there a way to target the first letter of my first text paragraph?
I know the code is pretty stupid with the p wrapping the image, but it’s WordPress generated and the person who is going to use is doesn’t know html so I would like to find a way without having to edit the code every time the column is updated.

Any ideas?

Emma

Code:

.column p:first-child:first-letter

or since the second paragraph looks like the first "text" paragraph:

Code:

.column p:nth-child(2):first-letter
