Trying to add a background image (Have CSS Upgrade)
-
I am trying to add a custom background image to my blog (Yes, I have the CSS Upgrade). I am inserting the code as I’ve found examples online and on the ‘Firebug’, however it’s not working. Can someone please let me know the correct code/format for adding a background image? (I have also uploaded the image to my media gallery and have URL) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Also, does anyone know how to add a ‘digital signature’ to the bottom of each post, like this… http://imaprile.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/mysig-1.png
THANK YOU!

In general, digital signatures are for social forums, not blog posts. It’s your blog, so everyone already knows who wrote the post.

I know, I know… it’s a girl thing. A cutesy thing. I have the code from someone elses blog, but can’t get it to work.

If you paste the code here between backticks, we can take a look. It needs to be between backticks so it displays properly and we can analyze it.

Try this:
.entry { background: #fff url(http://imaprile.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/mysig-1.png) bottom right no-repeat; padding-bottom: 100px; } -

FWIW, I ran across a good tutorial on adding a “girly” signature a few weeks ago:
Personally, devblogs method is a little more hands-off, as it just works thanks to the magic of CSS. But, I thought it would be worth mentioning; as usual, there is more than one way to do things.

Yes, this would be the way to go for people who don’t have the CSS upgrade; the one thing about it, though, is that the task could become quite tedious… at least I would find it tedious after a while.
-
@devblog, will the code you provided insert the “girly signature” (LOL) at the bottom right of every post automatically? That’s what I’m hoping for anyhow. i figured out how to do it w/HTML, but it would need to be done with each post manually in the HTML editor. Please advise. Thank YOU again so much.

You’re a genius. (I did change it to be left aligned though, and 85px) I only had asked because I tried it and did a PREVIEW and nothing happened. I’ve found that some things don’t show up on the preview and you have to just cross your fingers and hit SAVE! Thanks again! (I have a new question; will be new thread)
