  I have had this issue before, but do not recall how it was resolved.

  On two of my blogs, the background images do not load. I haven’t changed any of the CSS beyond my initial set up when I first paid for the customization ability.

  These are the blogs in question:

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

  If you have copied all of the original CSS into the editor then relative links will be broken, this is the most common cause of disappearing images. Make sure your images are alive and well in your media library and that you’re only adding the relevant/modified CSS declarations to the editor.

  I did all that when I set up the blog. The images were visible a few weeks ago and I haven’t made any changes since that time.

  It seems like the file cannot be found. First make sure it exists. Then add the full URL into the code below and add this line to your CSS editing:

  body {background:url("URL_GOES_HERE") no-repeat fixed center top transparent;}
