    Thanks again for your response! Per your instructions, I tried adding the images folder into the root folder and placed the image file inside. But as before, it didn’t seem to do anything. Just for kicks, I added the same “images” folder and image file into my “rt_gantry_wp-child” theme directory, as well. Still nothing. You’ll note I also removed the “!important” clause from my style.css file.

    As for where I came up with the names of the rules as you’d mentioned in your response in #2 above, I got them using Firebug (and guessing which of any of the positions that were called out might be affected by a change in “background” attributes) combined with bits and pieces I (apparently incorrectly) gleaned from some of the many forum posts I’ve waded through trying to figure this out. You will notice that I have done away with all of them. 😉

    So I still can’t seem to make this work. Do you have any further thoughts on how to lick this thing? I continue to really appreciate all of your help!!!

    Thanks so much for the lightning-fast response! I wish I could report that this has solved it, but so far it hasn’t. Something is obviously still wrong with my css. Here is the content of my “style.css” file as it currently resides on my server, which (I believe?) includes your suggestions:

    /*
    Theme Name: Gantry-Child Theme for WordPress
    Theme URI: http://cotownrecords.com/wp-content/themes/rt_gantry_wp-child

    @import url(“../rt_gantry_wp/style.css”);

    body {
    background-image: url(“/images/CotownBackgroundPatternFull.png”) !important;
    }
    header#rt-top-surround {
    background-color: transparent !important;

    div#rt-top {

    }

    #rt-maintop {
    background-image: url(“../images/CotownBackgroundPatternFull.png”) !important;
    }

    Never mind. I hard coded a URL into my Home menu link. Didn’t “solve” this but I found a workaround. Thanks anyway!

    OK — I checked all of that and my settings are all correct so I didn’t change anything. Any other ideas? For kicks, I disabled WP Super Cache and emptied the cache in multiple spots, but my new WP Site STILL links to my old one when “home” is clicked. I’m scratching my head… :/
