    I'm having trouble adding an image to my theme. I created a folder for images inside the child theme folder (transitional/images) the stylesheet is, of course, in the transitional folder.

    To use the photo in the stylesheet, I tried:
    background: url(/images/wood.jpg);

    But it's just not working. I have tried many variations of that, and nothing has worked.

    One place I have tried to add the background is on the date bubble at the top of the posts, you can see my attempt there. What am I missing?

    Try this:

    .header-image .site-header .wrap {
    	background: url(images/logo.png) no-repeat left;
    	padding: 0;
    }

    Hmm, still not displaying...

    (By the way, watched your screencast on installing fonts the other day. It was exactly what I needed, thank you!)

    Any other ideas?
