 * Hi! I am having a hard time adding a background image in my blog. The custom 
   theme options allow for a change in the background color, but I’ll have to dive
   into the style.css to change the background color to a tiled background image.
   I read this:
 * [http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp)
 * It seemed simple, but I was not able to see a change. I’m not sure what the problem
   is. Can someone tell me exactly where I need to edit the style.css and what the
   code should look like? I really appreciate your help. Thanks! 🙂

 * Why do you have to do this?

 * Well, do you have a better suggestion? I did edit the style.css and now I have
   the background image, but I can’t get it to not scroll along with the center 
   column of text. Any suggestions for getting the background image to stay put 
   instead of scrolling with the rest of the page? Thanks! 🙂

 * Your theme has its own forums: [http://themeforum.elmastudio.de/](http://themeforum.elmastudio.de/)–
   Try there.

 * I have. This isn’t exactly theme specific, though. I thought someone might be
   able to help here. Thanks.

 * Well, I figured it out. Hopefully, I will be able to help someone else out with
   this in the future. 🙂
