  Hi!

  Theme; twenty eleven

  Was wondering if someone could help with the coding required to add a pattern/image as a background to the entire sidebar. I want to use an image off the internet so how to include a url within the code to do this would be greatly appreciated.

  In addition, if i could get a little help on how to place widget symbols on my side bar (facebook/intagram/twitter etc.) but customize these to the colors I want that would also be awesome.

  Thanks!

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

  Hi, to add a background to the sidebar area, add the following and replace URL_OF_IMAGE with the url of the image you have uploaded to your media library.

  #secondary {
      background: url("URL_OF_IMAGE") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
  }
