  I am using an editor locally and within the editor it is showing up fine, but for some reason when I upload the css to the main site it is not showing up. Any idea why this would be occurring?

  Using this code:

  div#header {
  text-align:center;
  border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
  padding:12px 0;
  background-image: ‘http://onereversemortgage.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/reverse-mortgage-header.gif’;
  background-repeat:no-repeat
  }

  You’re missing a semi-colon at the end of the last line.

  ok swapped it out with this:

  div#header {
  text-align:center;
  border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
  padding:12px 0;
  background-image: ‘http://onereversemortgage.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/reverse-mortgage-header.gif’;
  background-repeat:no-repeat;
  }

  and still no dice

  Put this in instead

  div#header {
  text-align:center;
  border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
  background:url('http://onereversemortgage.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/reverse-mortgage-header.gif') no-repeat;
  background-repeat:no-repeat;
  padding:12px 0;
  }

  When is the last rule, it doesn’t matter if it has a semicolon at the end. However, I do think it should always have one, as good practice.

  Also, to fix that, the rule should read:

  background-image: url(http://onereversemortgage.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/reverse-mortgage-header.gif);

  BTW, I don’t know why WP adds the single quotation marks…
