Where do you want this background to appear ?

Steve's question needs to be answered, because while the technique for putting in background images remains the same, the desired position, behaviour and layout of the image needs to be known.

The image will be loaded into your template's images folder (NOT your main image folder), and the position, behaviour and layout will be governed by a declaration in the stylesheet.

Typically:

body {
    background: url("../images/bg.jpg") no-repeat fixed center top #F2F4F1;

i am wanting it to be seen only in the sides but cover the entire site. like all the content is on top of that image(including the white in the middle).

yes it worked thank you so much :)

You would add background: url(../yourimage.gif); to:

.sideBoxContent {
background: url(../images/options.gif); }
