 * Im using the McKinley theme (have child theme).
    the header in the McKinley theme
   is roughly 150x1000px. I wish my header to be about 50x1000px, its a .jpg file.
 * is there a way to insert it into the header using CSS, or do I edit the header.
   php, and put it in the childtheme folder?
 * Also, Im trying to tile the background with an image, but nothing shows up:
 * > #body {
   >  background-image: url(‘[http://www.mattmm.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/test21.jpg&#8217](http://www.mattmm.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/test21.jpg&#8217););
   > background-repeat: repeat; }
 * Thanks!

 * Anyway for the body issue:
 * it is just ‘body’ not ‘#body’
 *     ```
       body {
       background-image: url('http://www.mattmm.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/test21.jpg');
       background-repeat: repeat;
       }
       ```

 * Yes you would do this in your child-theme style.css file
