Open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylelsheet.css

find the following declaration and make the highlighted change.


body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FF6600;
}

save the image you want to use to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/YOUR_IMAGE_NAME.jpg

Then change the stylesheet declaration as indicated by the highlight.
body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #000000;
background: url(../images/YOUR_IMAGE_NAME.jpg);
}

didnt work when i put in the code like you mentioned and upload it to my server, the background image went all white and that was that. Any suggestions?

Exactly where did you save the image? What is its filename?

I named it brick.jpg and I saved it in includes/templates/classic/images/brick.jpg then went to my css sheet and changed it just like I was told and nothing happened

The image is where it should be. Now put the style rule back in and let us see what you really have, and how it behaves.

We need to see how you are trying to change the styling to know what you are doing wrong. Apply the background-image and then post to let us know it is set up.
