 * I want to add the following images:
    [http://videos4websites.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/bordertop.png](http://videos4websites.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/bordertop.png)
   [http://videos4websites.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/borderbottom.png](http://videos4websites.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/borderbottom.png)
   to the site [http://www.videos4websites.net](http://www.videos4websites.net),
   and to be borders around the two dark blue boxes in the background (and to repeat
   along the top and bottom), how would i go about doing this? I’ve tried a few 
   methods but it looks like it’s out of my knowledge, please help 🙂 Many Thanks!
   🙂

 * @
 * Open Style.CSS file of your WP theme and make changes in the codes.
 * In stylesheet, under /* LAYOUT */
 * add
 *     ```
       body {
       	background: #fff url(enter the path of the background image) top left repeat-x;
       	}
       ```
   
 * The thing you have to do is just entering the path of the background image in
   the bracket. (NOTE: **Don’t remove** the brackets)
 * Thanks

 * Thanks but I tried that and it just gave me the top image without the bottom 
   image.
