 * I am very new to css and am having trouble changing the background on my site.
   I am trying to add an image using url, but nowhere in the code does it list a
   background color or url. This is what is listed is the style.css:
 * body { font:14px Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin:5px 5px 5px 5px; }
    body*{
   margin:0px; padding:0px; }
 * I am using the WP Premium theme. Any suggestions?

 * Below is example CSS for setting a background image for the body element
 *     ```
       body
       {
       background-image:url('paper.gif');
       }
       ```

 * Omg. I am using WP Premium and am having the same problem. Did you ever figure
   it out. I’ve been working on it for about 4 hours and I can’t seem to get it 
   to change.
