You can usually add that in by adding a css entry for images (or make a class for images that get added to your images) and add a background image element. Any decent online css guide will show you how this works.
Harknell,
Do you have a reference to “any decent css guide” ?
Have you tested any of the theories you have posted?
“You can usually add that in by adding a css entry for images”
An entry such as?
Attempting to give the img tag a value in the css of a background-color?
(or make a class for images that get added to your images) and add a background image element.
What???
Make a DIV and give it a background-color to show while the image is loading?
What did you have in mind?
In your CSS, whatever class you are using for your images, [usually something like .post img] just add a background colour.
For example
.post img {background #cccccc;}
Thanks Shadow, that worked.
