How to Gradiate Background on Arthemia Theme

Hi jakep_sf,

Thanks for your reply. I tried what you said, but no change ever happened. So, I tried moving the code up to replace the “body” section, and still, nothing. Here is my code as it is now (I apologize for the lengthiness):

/* HTML Elements */
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

body {
background: #119 url (‘images/gradient.png’) repeat-x top left;
}

p {
margin: 15px 0;
}

a:link, a:visited {
color: #3c78a7;
text-decoration:none
}

a:hover, a:active {
color: #3c78a7;
text-decoration:underline;
}

a img {
border:0;
}

code {
font: 1.0em ‘Courier New’, Courier, Fixed;
background:#ececec;
}

acronym, abbr, span.caps {
font-size: 0.9em;
letter-spacing: .07em;
cursor: help;
}

acronym, abbr {
border-bottom: 1px dashed #999;
}

blockquote {
padding: 10px 10px 0 10px;
border-top: 1px solid #ddd;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
background: #eee;
font:1.0em Arial;
line-height:1.5em;
margin:10px 0px;
}

select {
width: 130px;
}

/* Structure */

#head {

What should I do next? I really appreciate the help!

Nevermind! I tried using the second set of code you gave me, along with Photobucket, and it worked perfectly! Thank you so much!!!!
