   Hello! I´m trying to get a picture in the background of my blogg, and I thought that was something rather simple...I´m using the "Chaos Theory" theme, with the one column skin. Adress http://www.landstingsmajoriteten.com. In the forum I found a recommendation to uppload my picture to photobucket.com, which I did, and I have added the following code to the CSS

   body
   {
   background-image: url(' http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii278/majoritet/bloggcirklar.jpg');

   background-repeat: no-repeat;
   background-attachment:fixed;
   background-position: 30% 20%;
   }

   Have I given the wrong URL, or is something in the code wrong? The third opition I can think of is that I put the code in the wrong place - I put it in the same place as where I changed the background color, whith the code

   body {background-color: white}

   And that worked fine.

   Your code works for my test blog. By the way, you have 3 GB place for free here on wordpress.com to upload pictures...

   I havn´t seen how or where to upload pictures on wordpress - I thought I had to use something else. And thank you Isadora, by knowing that it wasn´t anything really wrong with the code I started to test new places in the code to put it, and I finally got it to work. I have never been in a forum like this before, but I now realise what a comfort it can be...

   The Upload box is right underneath the text box on the Write page. You have to scroll down to see it; I think I was here a good eight months before I noticed it. The file has to be on your computer; there's no function for uploading directly from the web.
