  I’m using theme Contempt on my blog: http://blog.olegkokorin.com/ (mapped from olegkokorin.wordpress.com)
  Got the Custom CSS upgrade. Using the following CSS add-on code to widen the page:

  #topbar {
  max-width:1150px;
  }

  #pagebar {
  width:1150px;
  }

  #page {
  width:1150px;
  }

  #content {
  width:850px;
  }

  #sidebar {
  margin:-60px 0 0 930px;
  }

  #footer {
  width:1150px;
  }

  #headerimg {
  background-image:url(‘http://olegkokorin.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/head-new.jpg’);
  }

  I uploaded the file through Media Library. The file is alright:
  File name: head-new.jpg
  File type: image/jpeg
  Upload date: February 23, 2010
  Dimensions: 1150 × 140
  File URL: http://olegkokorin.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/head-new.jpg

  I checked that the URL is working. Still… The image doesn’t show in the header. What am I doing wrong???

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

  Hi,

  everything seems to be ok. Maybe it is a good ides to empty the browse cache ([F5] or [CTRL]+[F5]).

  Regards

  Thanks, F5 and Ctrl-F5 don’t help. Just tried it in FF 3.5.8 and MSIE 8. :-(

  Other people are reporting similar issues; rest assured I can see everything fine too. There’s probably a problem in the connections between where you are and where the image server is. Report it to staff via http://support.wordpress.com/contact and include the link to this thread.

  Ah, stupid me. I tried to open the site from another computer (completely different network) and it showed up OK. So I guess it’s cache after all.
  Thanks! Time to do more CSS tweaking…
