Quick & hopefully SIMPLE NewBie question

Hi – you do that in CSS

div .eventli { background: url(images/filename.jpg) no-repeat; padding-left: 30px; }

1) use actual image name – url is relative to folder the stylesheet is in.

2) the code I gave you will apply the thumbnail to all entries in class eventli, which is not what you want. assign a second class to that one entry such as <div class=”eventli ebook”> Changing the css above from
div .eventli { to div .ebook { will resolve that issue.

Thanks stvwlf,
you’ve been a great help..if I may trouble you again..I’ve done what you said and however I’m struggling with part 2 of your instructions and when I play around with the code nthing appears..I’ve uploaded my style.css file. If you have time I’d appreciate if you could take a look..
Really appreciated, thanks again!

hi

In your sidebar is this code

<div class="eventli">
  <p>Learning to be professional e-book home page</p>
</div>

change it to this

<div class="eventli ebook">
  <p>Learning to be professional e-book home page</p>
</div>

In your stylesheet on line 317 is
div .eventli { background: url(https://www.co-lab.eu/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/ebook1.jpg) no-repeat; padding-left: 30px; }

change it to this:
div .ebook { background: url(https://www.co-lab.eu/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/ebook1.jpg) no-repeat; padding-left: 30px; }

you will probably have to adjust the 30px to get the correct spacing between the background image and the text
