where do I upload the images for my css
-
All you have to do then is use pages instead of posts and turn the comments off by going to settings > discussion. If you are going to have more than a few pages, I would suggest a theme without the top navigation buttons since most themes here don’t do well with a large number of pages. You will then install the pages widget into the sidebar and people can navigate to the pages via the pages widget in the sidebar. If you want to have buttons in the sidebar for navigation, you can do that by putting them in a text widget and creating the links via HTML.

OK – I’m new to all this – I understand all of this over at blogger (changing backgrounds, uploading headers, etc…, but I’m not sure that is CSS).
Let me ask this – am I allowed to add a background ‘image’ instead of just a color or is that HTML?

@heartofgod, yes you are, but it would require the paid CSS upgrade and some experience with editing CSS to accomplish it.
See the two links I provided above.

Sorry – I had to catch a few winks…
I have paid for the CSS upgrade. The experience is what I lack – Like I said I am new to this kind of thing – the stylesheet provided is such a jumbled mess – not neatly formatted. I’m going to need to copy and paste it into notepad and make it readable for myself – though – I don’t see the place in which something like a background image would even go…
Thanks for your help so far – we all have to start learning somewhere and unfortunately my husband doesn’t remember much of what he knew about CSS :o( Anything helps!

Lori,
You don’t need to much. If to change the background color/image (from gray to something else) is the only think you want, then go to the CSS editor and enter the following code:
body {background: #fff;}In my example “#fff” represents white. That’s the only code you need in the CSS editor. Make sure the “Add to existing CSS” radio button is checked.
If you want to add an image, then the code would look something like this:
body {background: #fff url(URL/to/image/file.ext) top left;}If you want the image to repeat horizontally, then add “repeat-x” after “top left”. If you want the image to repeat vertically, then add “repeat-y” after “top left”. If you don’t want it to repeat, add “no-repeat”.

Thank you so much! I have been trying to upload a custom header that contains a couple of ‘gifs’, but WP doesn’t seem to support gifs – am I correct or am I doing something wrong?

Another question…
I’m using the “Digg” theme, but I’m not wanting to have the ‘search’ and ‘RSS’ directly under the header. Is it possible to get rid of those and use the enire area for the header?

Also what is the area behind the text called? I’m wanting to change the color in that area (sidebar/menus also). I just don’t know what all of these things are named. Is there a site I can go to that will explain this?

I don’t see them anymore, I guess you figured out how to remove them.
Also what is the area behind the text called?
I’m sorry but that’s not clear to me… do you mean the area that holds your posts? if so, that’s usually called “contents”. In the theme you’re using is called “content” and it seems to hold your posts and sidebar.
Is there a site I can go to that will explain this?
A site that explains what CSS you need to use to style a blog? If that’s what you’re asking, then no, there isn’t.
There are sites with CSS tutorials that would help you learning CSS, but to modify an existing theme’s CSS you need to know basic HTML and, of course, have some CSS knowledge to understand what selectors are, what type of selectors there are, how to define/modify them, etc.
The CSS code can vary from theme to theme and what works on one, won’t necessarily work on another.

Thank you for all your help! I really appreciate it! I haven’t decided on one specific theme yet, rather just playing around.
Do I change the color in the “content” area just like you instructed me to do for the background color/image?
Can you add a header to a theme that doesn’t already have one or is that messing with the PHP?
Lori
-
Yes, you can change the color like that, but the syntax in this case is slightly different.
Because “content” is the ID of an HTML element, the selector needs to be defined/modified like this:
#contnet {background: [code here];}Also, with CSS you can add a header image too. No need to mess with PHP.
