 * In your theme’s stylesheet usually. Without a link to your site, I can’t be any
   more specific than that.

 * Currently, the background image for your content area is defined by:
 *     ```
       .content-bgr {
       background: url(images/content-top.jpg) no-repeat;
       height:100%;
       overflow:hidden;
       padding:14px 40px 20px 15px;
       }
       ```
   
 * in style.css whilst the background for the whole page is defined by:
 * `.main {background:url(images/#tail01.jpg) repeat;}`
 * in the same file. The latter isn’t working right now because of the `#` in front
   of the image filename (#tail01.jpg).
 * First you need to decide what you want to change – the background image on the
   post content area or the background of the page (which would sit behind the page
   content area). Again, with the text colors, you first need to define which text
   you want to change as there will be different blocks in the stylesheet for different
   types of text.

 * Upload your new image to your theme’s images folder using FTP or whatever file
   management application your host provides. Then use:
 *     ```
       .content-bgr {
       background: url(images/six_sense_web_background.jpg) no-repeat;
       height:100%;
       overflow:hidden;
       padding:14px 40px 20px 15px;
       }
       ```
   
 * in your stylesheet.

 * Sorry!
    I unistalled everything and started all over again, Things seams to be
   cleaner now. Someone at Go Daddy told me anything I have to do in wordpress to
   use the application, not to FTP, in my server or filezilla. So If I have pictures,
   songs to be uploaded does it only works if I upload then through filezilla or
   can I just upload in my media page at wordpress.
 * Thank you for your help.
    So wehn you say to use:
 * .content-bgr {
    background: url(images/six_sense_web_background.jpg) no-repeat;
   height:100%; overflow:hidden; padding:14px 40px 20px 15px; }
 * Do you want me to replace something else to that?
    I am just learning, thanks
   for your pacience.You guys are genious!!!

 * If you are adding images to be used via CSS in your theme’s stylesheet or amending
   template or CSS files in your theme, you can use FTP. But anything that you want
   to add to the content of your posts and pages **must** go through the WP Admin
   interface.
 * The CSS block I suggested was to be used in your theme’s stylesheet in place 
   of:
 *     ```
       .content-bgr {
       background: url(images/content-top.jpg) no-repeat;
       height:100%;
       overflow:hidden;
       padding:14px 40px 20px 15px;
       }
       ```
   
 * You can do this via Admin/Appearance/Editor. Or you can download the stylesheet
   to your machine using FTP, make the changes using a **plain text** editor and
   upload the amended file back up again.

 * I did!!! it works! But it does not look good.
    Can you tell me how do I change
   the picture behind that? I really wanted this image to be on the very back of
   everything. It would be great if you could check for me. I left everything there
   so you can see it.
 * One more question I created pages, how can I display then in the order that I
   want when I save it goes it alphabetical order.
 * How do I create a sub page?
 * Under releases I need to add 9 or 10 other sub pages.
 *  Thanks

 * > I really wanted this image to be on the very back of everything.
 * You’d need to remove the background image on .content-bgr in the stylesheet.
 * > how can I display then in the order that I want
 * Use `<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order');?>` and then adjust the order
   using the Page Order box on each page.
 * > How do I create a sub page?
 * See [Pages](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages).
