#content { background: #000 url(image URL goes here) fixed no-repeat; border: none; color: #fff; }

body { background: #000 url( image URL goes here ) fixed left center no-repeat; color: #fff; }

None of these codes are working for me. Even when I remove:

url( image URL goes here )

and make sure the color codes are valid six digits numbers.

This thread is absolutely genius. I am also thankful for the kindness of those who are willing to share their knowledge of CSS/HTML. I am slightly skilled in the area, but I am not used to Gaia's way of styling things.

So perhaps someone here can answer one of my questions about CSS text styling? I have been working on my profile, (It is under construction as we speak. Feel free to look.) and I am having trouble with changing the bolding, italics, and underlining to the way I want them to be. I tried a code from one of my old layouts that I had made for VampireFreaks back in the day- a code I have also always used for web design- and it seems that it does not work for this site.

Could someone possibly tell me what I am doing wrong and/or if I am not using the right code for the site? Thank you so much for your time in reading my post. I hope it made a bit of sense. I have a terrible toothache, so I am currently on a pain pill at the moment. I digress. Here is the code:

B {COLOR: navy;

height:0px;

font-family:trebuchet ms;

font-size:8pt;

font-weight:normal;}



I {COLOR: #6699dd;

height:0px;

font-family:trebuchet ms;

font-size:8pt;

font-weight:none;

text-decoration: underline;

border-bottom: 2px dashed gray;}


U {COLOR: gray;

height:0px;

font-family:trebuchet ms;

font-size:10pt;

font-weight:normal;

border-bottom: 2px dashed #6699dd;}

I realize this is a very late reply. But just so you know the node elements "b", "u" and "i" are deprecated. Meaning they pretty much no longer exist in the HTML world. And they are not used in Gaia. To target elements that you have applied BBcode for, use something like
#about span[style*='bold'] { declaration block }
How it works is when you use BBcode it gets converted to inline CSS, so it's applied directly in the HTML and not a style sheet. So what this does is it gets any span element in the about with a style that is anything equal to italic, the [style*='italic'] is called an attribute selector. The same can be done for italic and underline. using the *= is CSS3, so it might not work in some browsers, and won't work in IE8 or lower. If you want it to work in most (if not all attribute selecting browsers), you can use [style='font-weight: bold'] instead of [style*='bold']. Either way is okay, just one is much shorter.

Mind showing the code for Media and how to add Youtube videos?
