 * Hi All,
 * I know the theme doesn’t really feature this anywhere, but would it be possible
   to add a background graphic/image?
 * Thanks,
    Sandra

 * You can add it [using CSS](http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp), 
   you just need a way of adding your own CSS since the theme doesn’t have a custom
   CSS option. One way is to create a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   but it’s easier to use a CSS plugin like [Lazyest Stylesheet](http://wordpress.org/plugins/lazyest-stylesheet/)
   or [Custom CSS Manager](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/)(
   I prefer Lazyest Stylesheet). Just make sure your image is light enough so it
   doesn’t interfere with the text. Or if your image is dark, you can change the
   background color of your container elements, maybe adjusting the opacity so the
   background image still shows through a little. If your image is large, you have
   to decide if you want the image to scroll when the user scrolls the page down
   or remains fixed in place ([background-attachment property](http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-attachment.asp)).
   If your image is small, you can tile it using the background-repeat property.
