Adding Background Image To Posts

    When I first set up a blog I created a custom theme that had images for the post background – post_top.jpg; postbg.jpg and post_btm.jpg.
    Having upgraded to wordpress 3.0.1 I’ve decided to adapt my theme to be a child theme of twentyten – I’m getting there slowly but I can’t figure out how to put a background behind each post.
    My old look http://blog.kia-glitz.com/
    My new look so far http://www.kia-glitz.com/testblog/
    Don’t worry about the red borders – that’s just me figuring out what code section affect which areas of the page.

    I’d also like to know if it’s possible to edit the date of each post so that it looks like the old version too. That’s more of a nice to have than a need to have though.

    I think I’ve part-solved this by
    * adding post_top.jpg as a background to #content .entry-title
    * adding postbg.jpg as a background to .entry-meta and .entry-content,
    .entry-summary and .hentry
    * adding post_btm.jpg as a back ground to .entry-utility
    So far…

    Well, of course – use borders and border-radius (with the exception of IE, and IE9 is on it’s way anyway).
    Off to figure how to put an image between posts as a divider now.
