Thanks again! All fixed:)

#title a:link, #title a:visited {
color: #0E0D0D;
}

And here is where the "hover" color is set.

#title a:hover {
color: #000000;
}

I tried adding to css:
h1
{
color:#0E0D0D;
}

But nothing happened...

Hopefully erlhov will tell us if he/she DID put the background in through Appearance > Background or not.

'm not sure if they put the background in through appearance > background or if they used the CSS, but what was appearing in the CSS was inconsistent with how the original theme CSS did it and that was what was creating the problem. If they DID put the background in through appearance > background and what I saw was the result, then there is something going on with the theme or with wordpress (bug).

On settings > reading I set Blog pages show at most: 5 posts, and Syndication feeds show at most: 5 items. But still, as you can see, the home pages still has loads and loads of posts....

Btw, how can I change the title of the home page (hovgaard's notebook) and the menu text from grey to black (using css)?

Any other changes you would recommend?

Again, thanks a million.

Cheers,
Erlend

Go to the CSS edit window, delete anything that is right now in the CSS edit window and paste the following in there and then click save stylesheet.

body {
background: url("http://erlhov.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/darkwood5.jpg") repeat fixed left top #0E0D0D;
}

When doing CSS here, what you are going to want to do is to add only the specific selectors, and the specific declarations you are adding or changing to the CSS edit window and then your additions or changes will overwrite the existing. Do NOT paste the entire stylesheet into the edit window.

The problem was that the standard CSS uses the short form background declaration as such:

background: url(URL of image) repeat scroll 0 0 #F3F3F3;

And what was entered for your background declaration was the long form stuff (as below) and it will not override the above short form declaration used in the original CSS (as above).

background-attachment: fixed;
background-color: #0E0D0D;
background-image: url(URL of image);
background-position: left top;
background-repeat: repeat;

If you had not added any CSS at all yet, then this might be a bug.

Thanks timethief!

Yeah the image is a jpg, only 52 kb, it's like a dark wood pic. I'm using the newest Chrome version, but I've tested the site in safari and firefox too. Same there, just blank. I just now tested the site on my iphone and here the background shows! So weird.

Everything happens as it's suppose to when I upload the background. I click choose file, upload and save changes, then the background shows in the preview square and it gives me a message "Background updated. Visit your site to see how it looks." But then it just doesn't show on the site when I check it.

Thanks!
