 * Is it possible to have a background image for the theme instead of custom color?

 * There was only one stylesheet, style.css. You can modify html{} or #page-wrap{}.
 * You may also want to check out a plug in called “Background Per Page” which allows
   you to change the background of each page.
 * Hope this helps..

 * It’s not advisable modify theme files – those changes will be lost when the theme
   is updated. Instead you can use a custom CSS plugin or child theme.

 * I found another way.
 * If you add the line to your functions.php file
 * add_theme_support( ‘custom-background’, $args );
 * You can use the frontend to change it – much like the plugin. Since I only want
   a single image this works.
 * Now on to figuring out how to implement a static sticky header and footer with
   arbit HTML like here shruti.avinashc.com/final .
 * Probably should create a new post for that one.
