  I have been reading the other posts about changing background color and adding background images, and I have tried all of the suggestions, but I’m still not able to view a background on my blog, perhaps because I’m using a different theme or maybe I’m doing something wrong.

  My theme is Pressrow and I’d like to add the background image: http://positivelyorphaned.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/backgroundtrialflat.jpg

  I created the background image to be 1024 wide by 2048 high. Does this seem like the correct proportions for a background?

  It has a darker border across the top, so I need for that part to always stay behind the banner.

  Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.

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

  Whoops, messed that up.
  Try this instead:

  body {
         background-image: url('http://positivelyorphaned.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/backgroundtrialflat.jpg');
  
  }

  Hello wpadvanced,

  I’ve followed your instructions to positivelyorphaned but haven’t had her success.
  I tried inserting code into footer but nothing shows.

  By the way, how do I get rid of the lines that encase the header in Pressrow.

  Cheers,

  MWQ.
