Hi everyone,
This is my first time using Blueprint. What I tried to set up an image for a background website. I remember I read somewhere on the blueprint e-group that we shouldn't change anything in Blueprint's screen.css. So I created a custom.css and then created a body tag which shows;
Background
Image: URL
../images/byyrepeat2.jpg
Horizontal: 50%
Repeat: Repeat y
Attach: Fixed
But still it doesn't show the background image.
I tried to do different ways. I created a new site and a website without BP's CSS. Use the basic.css to set up for the bg image -- it works. It seems that BP's CSS blocked the custom.css. I tried to set up for the image in BP's body tag -- still won't work, either. Frustrated. I think I read somewhere on BP e-group that I need to run compress.css. I still don't understand how to use it.

I recommend that you look at the CSS files for blueprintcss.org, and
see how this is done:
http://blueprintcss.org/css/latest.css
Always make sure you link to your custom CSS file AFTER you link to
the blueprint files in the <head> of your HTML page.

I created that CSS file myself. This is all about making your own
custom CSS files to style your webpage beyond what Blueprint will do.
You should learn a bit about CSS to understand this.
