I would like to add my own touch onto my blog skin @
http://darran.digital-pulse.net/.
I would like to add a background to the sidebar, is there
any possible way to do that? I was thinking of adding a background
url image there, is it feasible?
Thanks in advance
Btw I have upgraded to WP 2.0 ;)
Yes, you can have a bg image for the sidebar. Most themes that have a distinct colour for the sidebar AND having it as long as the content area - are using a bg image. You should Google for "faux column" to learn more about the technique.
I tried adding a bg image but it doesn't stretch to the whole
height of the content area, and there is a space from the top of
the content area to the sidebar
I don't see it - just a double header image.
Make an image with the exact width of your sidebar and a few px high.
Then in the style.css of your theme add/modify this in the #content part:
background: #fff url('images/yourbg.gif') repeat-y right;
which means your theme has a subfolder called images - or change the path as it fits you; and change the .gif extension, too, if needed.
I will attempt this
Take a look again
The sidebar is not starting from the top and it doesn't stretch
all the way to the bottom? How can I solve this?
You might want to read this article to make your columns appear equal in length.
For some reason, that tutorial doesnt seem to work :(
