this is probably a really easy solution but im going mad. How do I add a repeat background to my thematic site www.madebythink.com/index_.php its driving me mad and ive tried to change the css in every way i know. Ive created a folder in the theme folder called images aswell, this is where i keep my header logo.

Hey Matt,
where do you want to have your repeated background?
Btw.: Looks like you're not using a child theme. It has nothing to do with your problem, but using a child theme will protect your work while upgrading Thematic.

Hi Chris, I have a repeat image of grass that I want to act as the background of the site. If you see the site now its basically the 'green' background I want as grass! http://www.madebythink.com/index_.php
thanks again chris - and whats a child theme?

Hey Matt, have you check if the path to grass.jpg is it right? I can't found the image...
Hey Matt,
now I got what you're doing. You defined the background in reset.css. Defining it as url(images/grass.jpg) will use the at this time current directory. So it'll end up searching the image in http://www.madebythink.com/wp-content/themes/thematic/library/styles/images/grass.jpg ..
Ok .. If you still know what you've already changed in the different CSS files, write it down because you need to re-install Thematic .. take a look into your thematic folder. There you should find a folder thematic-sample-child-theme .. Follow the instructions in the readme.txt to create a child theme. Start to work with the child theme. CSS will go into your child theme's style.css .. if you need to change Thematic functionality most of it can be done using the child theme's functions.php.
Let me know, if you need any additional help.
Cheers,
Chris
