   Hi,

   I have a basic WordPress account hosted by WP and I upgraded to uses the custom CSS. Is it possible through the CSS to change my site BG image? I put in the image location in the CSS file but it is not reading it.

   My site: http://usedwigs.wordpress.com/

   I located the exact BG file:

   http://usedwigs.wordpress.com/wp-content/themes/pub/contempt/images/blue_flower/bg.jpg

   Is this an area I can edit?

   Please advise, muc appreciated.

   yes, after you edit your image, you'll want to put your new image in like this:
   body {<br /> background: url(http://YOURIMAGEHERE.JPG) repeat;<br /> }

   thanks, I tried it, but no go. Here is the code I added:

   body {
   font-size:62.5%;
   font-family:'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
   background: url(http://www.usedwigs.com/graphics/bg_UWR.gif) repeat;
   background-color:#ffffff;
   color:#333;
   text-align:center;
   margin:0;
   padding:0;
   }

   Is it because I have the image located on another server? Do I have access to the server my WP site is located on:

   http://usedwigs.wordpress.com/

   Thanks again for your help! Jeff
