removing header text / background

    Two questions that are plaguing me…

    The first is about the header. Is there some way in default to make it so that the title of the page is not written across the header? I still want the page to have a title but I’d rather have the title embedded in my graphic then scrawled across it.

    The second question is, how do I change the background from gray to an image of my own design? Not the kubrickbg but the sides (where the fun gray paisley is on this site).

    Many accolades to anyone who can help me!

    peace,

    J-Tron

    Second: change the img or color in #body ?

    First: text-indent: -500em for #header a

    Vague as I have no css of yours to go on ….

    Heya, I was able to do that by removing the blog title tag in the header.php file.

    Thanks for the advice. The text-indent thing took care of the getting the text out of the header.

    But I’m still having trouble changing the background image for the sides. I did this:

    body {
    font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
    font-family: ‘Lucida Grande’, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
    background-color: #d5d6d7;
    color: #333;
    text-align: center;
    background-image: url(‘/images/background.jpg’);
    }

    But the addition of the line with the background image seems to have no effect on anything.

    Make the image path a full url to the image file

    Nope. Everything is still gray.

    a link to your blog will be incredibly useful.

    Right. I should have thought of that.

    body {
    font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
    font-family: ‘Lucida Grande’, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
    background-color: #ff0000;
    color: #333;
    text-align: center;
    }

    In any normal css, that would make the background color red. I know you do not want it red, I’m just illustrating that as far as I can see right now, that css is very odd.

    Other than inserting the image link, I haven’t changed anything from the style.css that was provided with the default.
