Root, thanks much.
I’ve been exploring this, and I want to do it. The only code I found for this was:
DIV.inside { background:url(images/whitepaper.jpg);}
which did not work when I put it after div#page.
Please keep in mind that I am teaching myself CSS and codex as I go. Meaning, I’m slow but persistent.
Can you please tell me what to put into the code CSS for the second background image? (which would be where all the copy is. )
Here I am. https://donnabarstow.com/WordPress/

That was rude.

Yes, it’s me, 4 hours and still working on this.
Blog2_config.php doesn’t work. WP error says it needs a wp_config. But directions tell me to change wp to something else.

I am very unhappy about the whole WordPress experience.

Okay, I read somewhere how to create a new directory in my html public access, so I did that. It has the name of my 2nd blog. So I import the WP folder, but when do I change the name of the wp-config file?

I have read the Install Another Blog several times. Several times. Before I try to start another blog, I want to make sure I am not destroying the first blog by overriding it.

I will use the same database, I guess. I can see it in MySql php. (wow, did I have to learn a lot to do all of this.)

My question is: to upload another WordPress installation folder, do I change the wp-config-sample file to blog2-config before I upload and install it?

But the whole folder would still be called WordPress, however, and I can’t have 2 folders with the same name in my public html. Ekusteve says to put it in it’s “own directory.” Do I just make up a name for the whole WP folder? Put it inside the original WP folder? I don’t get where to put it in my public html.

Sorry to be so dense here.

Jeffro, thanks, tried taking that line out, but the outline around the link & images (as well as every not-outlined link on the page) just turned the usual bright blue.

I can’t find one line in any file of this theme that pertains to links or images having a border or outline. Why would this happen to certain links? Can someone take a peek at this? The alt for these says “Direct link to file.” Why would these links be treated differently?

Thanks for your experience, as I have none.

Thank you, Moshu, found it!

Does anyone know if or how I can have one background image on top of another? (the second one is centered, and would not cover the bottom one.) Or maybe this is not possible.

Thank you for helping, Jane!

For anyone who has this problem, I had to do both to work it: put the div class in the index file, and I put the clear underneath the item menu. And it works!

Thanks, Jeremy, the code looks exactly as you wrote it, line for line (except the ends of your lines.). Still not alternating. Is there a place to put the colors of the alternating backgrounds that I should check on?
Since I haven’t started this yet, all the comments are me. But I don’t think that should make a difference.

I don’t know why this said it was not a support question when it obviously is.
Can anyone see where I can add in CSS to change the 3rd column to look like the 2nd column?
(in the stylesheet, the middle column is called the 3rd column.)

I don’t think anyone was whining. I built my own website, and I’d like to at least change a theme for my new blog, but I haven’t seen exact instructions on HOW TO CHANGE A THEME.

Thanks, Michael, but I built my own website entirely in html. Shouldn’t I be able to find my login name for this?! Is it hidden in my host file?

Thank you, Moshu.
I deleted most 2.0 through my server/host, (and can recover anything for a week from my trash can.)

Here is what I have now:
wp-content
index.php
post_install.htm
wp-config-sample.php
wp-config.php
wp-login.php
wp-register.php.

Remember, my blog is completely empty so far, I just want to upgrade what my host gave me (in 2 seconds, but this is taking me much longer…)
Should I delete more? I hope the upgrade will know to go to my wordpress folder…
