How would one add a second background to a theme using css

    I would like to add an additional bg to the current theme. I’m using the clear theme, and have already replaced the main images with transparent .png’s. The only issue is that I’m not a web guy…. more of a graphics guy. I’d like to figure out how to ad a background behind the background of the current center column. I tried copying and pasting the original backgrounds css code and altered it to this:

    #main {
    width: 271px;
    background:url(img/wood-mahogany-seamless-background-fill.jpg) repeat;

    }

    The problem I think I am having is that I don’t know how to direct it behind the layers that are already there….. well actually I can’t get it to show up at all. Unless I replace the original’s target from (img/bg.png) to the one listed above. Maybe there is something to do with hooks? I’m not quite sure what the # does, or how I can add a repeating bg image to the entire background. I tried to get it to work with the graphics, but there was an issue with the seamlesness of the image.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!! Hell, maybe this is just not possible, IDK.

    I’m afraid that as the support bot suggests, you’ll need to head over to http://wordpress.org/support/ for help with blogs not hosted here at WordPress.com.
