 * You can usually add that in by adding a css entry for images (or make a class
   for images that get added to your images) and add a background image element.
   Any decent online css guide will show you how this works.

 * Harknell,
 * Do you have a reference to _“any decent css guide”_ ?
 * Have you tested any of the theories you have posted?
 * _“You can usually add that in by adding a css entry for images”_
 * An entry such as?
 * Attempting to give the img tag a value in the css of a background-color?
 * _(or make a class for images that get added to your images) and add a background
   image element._
 * What???
 * Make a DIV and give it a background-color to show while the image is loading?
 * What did you have in mind?

 * In your CSS, whatever class you are using for your images, [usually something
   like .post img] just add a background colour.
 * For example
 * `.post img {background #cccccc;}`
