    I saw a reference to putting in a background but it seemed incomplete to me. Can anyone point me to helpful info? I like to have a background with a paper texture. Thnks.

    David - is this the kind of background to Cutline you mean?
    http://sdcue.org/hthitest

    I did most of this in the custom.css file -
    http://sdcue.org/hthitest/wp-content/themes/Cutline%201.1/custom.css

    The only thing I did in the stylesheet was the body:
    body { background-image: url(http://parentpage.org/images/yello039background.gif);
    background-repeat: repeat; color: #333; font: 58% Georgia, serif; line-height: 135%; text-align: left; }

    * { padding: 0; margin: 0; }

    (I do the parentpage.org pages too so it was okay I link to that image.

    Parentpage.org/sandiego also has stuff in the style sheet for changing the side bar backgrounds.

    Hope this is helpful.

    Junedodge, how nice of you to reply. This was the first time I've asked for help.
    In response to your first question -- no. I didn't realize the various cutline themes and didn't give enought info. I'm using Cutline 3- column split (realitypivots.com) and it has a line thus in the css:

    body { background: #ccc; color: #333; font: 62.5% Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; text-align: center; }

    I had learned to do what you pointed to with the Default WordPress theme. Oh, but then I had to get fancy and try this new theme! I want to have the whole ground??/base???/body??? be the kind of textured stuff that was in the "background" of the demo site you pointed me to. In my 3-col Cutline I tried just plugging in background-image pointing to a URL texture but it did not work.
    Thanks

    Beto - Thanks for the challenge! I uploaded the 3-column versions and worked on changing the background colors. In some cases I had to fiddle with the margins or padding so there could be different colors for the columns, headlines, etc. It's not perfect - I welcome help with getting things more centered.

    I put the theme switcher option so you can click to see all three of the cutland themes.

    View the source to see where the custom.css files are - I tried to remember to make a comment when I made a change.

    These are not pretty - I made the colors just to show what could be changed.

    I hope this is helpful...
