  We’re just getting our company blog rolling. It’s hosted through WP right now, and we have the CSS upgrade. Right now, it’s just the stock Kubrick theme, with a custom header. I’m tweaking the CSS myself, but I can’t get rid of the background image behind the page. Using the Web Developer toolbar in Fire Fox, I can tell it’s a bg image applied to the #page ID and it’s called kubrickbg.gif and it’s located in the images folder. For some reason, this isn’t showing up in the stylesheet. I can also see that the blog is pulling from two stylesheets: one at myblog.wordpress.com and one at s.wordpress.com. What’s the deal? Why isn’t WP letting edit that one part of the Kubrick theme’s CSS?

  s.wordpress.com appears to be where your CSS file is stored (the one that contains your changes).

  If you are talking about removing the grayish background, then remove this line from your CSS “body: { background section.”

  url(https://s-ssl.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbgcolor.gif) repeat scroll 0%

  Just leave it as

  body {
  background: transparent;
  }

  As far as I know, the CSS upgrades allows you to override the CSS of a given stylesheet (if you don’t start from scratch), not to edit them. That’s the beauty of the “C” in the acronym :-)
