# Background image…

 * Hi,
 * I am absolutely new to WordPress (or for that matter in any web technology) and‘
   Wilson’ is my first theme. I am still sort of groping in the darkness. I would
   like to add a background picture to the left-sidebar (but preferably not to the
   right-sidebar) and want the navigation / menu to float on it.
 * I tried this in style.css by replacing the background in .body{} with background-
   image: url(). But this made my image tile / repeat all over left & right bars
   in an ugly manner.
 * Basically, I fancy a left sidebar just like the one – [**HERE**](http://themeforest.net/item/travelfly-ghost-theme/full_screen_preview/6381450).
 * IS THIS POSSIBLE? PLEASE HELP!
