  Can anyone help me with how to change the background of the benevolence theme background on my blog? I want to change the grey to a repeating image… like maybe leaves, etc. I need to know what to change in the CSS, and I’m really hopeless with all this stuff, so please be gentle with me :P

  thanks!

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

  We need a link to the blog please.

  A couple things to remember with the CSS upgrade:

  1. There is no official wordpress support for the CSS upgrade. You need to have some experience or knowledge before you upgrade.

  2. There are only a few volunteers here in the forum with minimal CSS experience so there is no guarantee you will get fast, or any help.

  in the following part of the CSS where I put INSERT IMAGE URL, you insert the image url with the http:// part,

  body {
  	position: relative;
  	background: url('<strong>INSERT IMAGE URL</strong>');
  	height: 100%;
  	font-family: Arial;
  	text-align:left;
  	color:#000;
  	font-size: 8pt;
  	margin:  0px;
  	padding: 0;
  	text-align: center;
  }

  For the background image, you would modify the “background” declaration in the body section something like this:

  background:#333333 url(full url of the image) repeat fixed 0 0;
