  Hi,

  Can anyone tell me how to add a decorative border to my site – like the one seen here: http://tiethatbindsweddings.wordpress.com/

  I tried inspecting the element but couldn’t find anything helpful.

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

  The site you reference: http://tiethatbindsweddings.wordpress.com/ actually uses a tiled background image: https://tiethatbindsweddings.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/background41.jpg

  Here is what they use:

  body {
  background: url('http://tiethatbindsweddings.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/background41.jpg') repeat-y center top #fbf1eb;
  }

  You can achieve the same effect with your site by uploading your image and replacing the image URL in the CSS with your image URL, like:

  body {
  background: url(‘YourDesiredImageURLhere.jpg’) repeat-y center top;
  }

  Thanks! It didn’t occur to me that it may have been a background image, I thought it might have all been CSS.

  While that can certainly be achieved with some relatively complex CSS, I don’t recommend it.

  Glad to help.
