This site:
http://ceaselesswind.com/
uses 2 .gif images as a backgrounds on the right and left sidebars using this code:
padding: 6px 6px 6px 6px;
background: url(./wp-content/themes/atahualpa351/images/cw_sidebar200_grad_new.gif);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
Why do the backgrounds disappear on all other pages like the blog page?
The front page is set as static page.
