 * I really like the “Wilson” theme layout, but I was wanting to add custom backgrounds
   to a few of my pages. I’ve been looking over the wordpress api, and after having
   looked on this site at the method to add custom background support,
 * add_theme_support( ‘custom-background’, $args);,
 * I wasn’t getting the extra admin option under appearances or the customization
   option like I was supposed to.
 * I’ve been doing some research, but by all accounts it’s supposed to be pretty
   easy. What am I missing?
 * Thanks.
