Multiple templates vs page query to deliver CSS

    I want to have a separate CSS background image for each page on my site and am curious…

    Would it be best to deliver a separate template for each page with different styles, or can I query what page is being asked for and deliver the style based on page? Does either approach make a difference in terms of server resources?

    All the pages have exactly the same structure, just the bg changes.

    even if you use a separate stylesheet for every page, you need to query this somewhere, probably also in header.php.
    i personally would embed the query for the styles for the page backgrounds in the head section of header.php. (that is not based on any detailed research on server resources)

    That looks very much like what I was thinking, then I could deliver a different css tag, or different sheet, or anything else I suppose based on which page is being called.

    Thanks very much for the reference. Never created a function before, but it sure looks like it could be very powerful and a good think to learn.

    I am really starting to have fun with WP! 🙂
