 * Hello, I am trying to get a menu up within one of my wordpress pages, in the 
   html itself. You can see it here:
 * [http://digitalfilmacademy.com/wordpress/about](http://digitalfilmacademy.com/wordpress/about)
 * For some reason though, I cannot seem to get the background image that is behind
   the menu buttons to work. My css reads like this:
 * >  #navmenu ul {
   >  margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none; list-style-image:
   > none; }
   > #navmenu li {
   >  display: inline; }
   > #navmenu ul li a
   >  {text-decoration:none; margin: 4px; padding: 5px 20px 5px
   > 20px; color: blue; background-image:url(‘images/abt.jpg’) }
   > #navmenu ul li a:hover {
   >  color: purple; background-image:url(‘images/abt.jpg’);}
 * I have also tried a direct path to the images with the full url but this does
   not work either. Is there something wrong with my css? It seems pretty basic.
