  I have the front page looking how I’d like:
  http://brainscope.wordpress.com

  But the back story pages are missing the #Page background image that works fine for the front:

  Here’s my css:

  body {
  font-size:62.5%;

  Looks like you picked a theme that doesn’t show the sidebar on any page but the first. So your header is too wide. I have no idea how to fix that. Perhaps some of the few CSS gurus can take a look.

  It was the default template. I do understand that the #Page CSS background image written in the page is taking priority over my custom #Page CSS background image. …but only on the back page. On the front, my custom CSS takes priority.

  Do I need to switch templates before customizing the CSS? It doesn’t seem like a template issue.

  It IS a template issue. Believe me, Kubrick (the default template) is actually one of the glitchiest especially when it comes to editing the CSS. You’ll have a much better experience if you pick a different theme.

  It’s a pity you changed the theme, I’d have liked to see it. IMHO you should just modify the .widecolumn selector (and maybe the .narrowcolumn, too, I didn’t try).

  What template do you suggest I use as a base for custom CSS? Do all the templates use the same style sheet parameters or will I have to start over building the CSS after switching to a different template?

  Use Sandbox. It’s the most customisable and designed to be so. But yes, sadly, different themes do use different parameters.
