    In Twenty Ten, I want my “custom” body-background image to show between posts, like this:

    http://schwarttzy.com/

    Schwarttzy accomplished that with the following CSS:

    #content {
    background:url("images/75.png") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    border:3px solid #4A4646;
    width:600px;
    }

    I don’t see a similar bit of CSS in Twenty Ten, but Firebug suggested the possibility of using the .hentry selector:

    .hentry {
    	background:url("images/blacktrans.png") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    }

    And here’s how that comes out on my “test” blog:

    http://johndimick.com/

    But, being a noob, I’m not sure if this is the right thing to do. I have no idea what “hentry” is about (and Google isn’t much help).

    Here’s my “real” blog, derived from the Pixel theme, which shows my aim a little better:

    http://www.guitarist.com/blog/

    I don’t want to take any more chances with my “real” blog — it’s messed it up enough already! — so I’m experimenting with a Twenty Ten child theme on the test blog. If I can get it looking good, I’ll switch my real blog over to the Twenty Ten child.

    So am I on the right track using “hentry” for this effect?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Yes, it always seems to happen that way — as soon as I give up on something, I see the solution! 🙂

    But thanks for the offer. And nice job on your site!

    I have been trying to achieve the same effect with my site for some time, but I can’t quite figure out how…

    How might I go about using the .hentry selector, I’m definitely a beginner, but would love to figure this out

    Here is my blog:

    Really appreciate any help you can give!

    Hi!

    I’m pretty new at this stuff, so I’ll just got to be sure that I’m doing this right..

    I’m also trying to create a gap between posts. I’m using the twenty-ten theme. I’ve uploaded the image I want to use. The URL of my image looks nothing like does exemplified here. The URL is http://baptisten.no/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/kors.png. Yours only says image/xxxx. This confuses me. Could anyone explain to me what I’m might doing wrong?
