hi how do i add a image to conatiner in Edit Stylesheet: Advanced Mode

i tried this

#container {
        image:http://i.imgur.com/1OUUu.png;
	width: 95%;
	background: #fff;
	border: 1px solid #e4e4e4;
	color: #000000;
	margin: auto auto;
	padding: 20px;
	text-align: left; /* IE 5 fix */

i must be doing something wrong or can i add it in templeplates

Replace above with this;

#container {
    width: 95%;
    background: #fff url(http://i.imgur.com/1OUUu.png) repeat;
    border: 1px solid #e4e4e4;
    color: #000000;
    margin: auto auto;
    padding: 20px;
    text-align: left; /* IE 5 fix */
}

Notice the ending } I've added.

The image property doesn't exist. You have to do:

background-image: url(http://i.imgur.com/1OUUu.png);

And to make it repeat:

background-repeat: repeat

Or you can just combine them together and replace background: #fff; with it.

background: #fff url(http://i.imgur.com/1OUUu.png) repeat;

thanks guys can i do the same with ''body''

Yes.

this is what i have in body but it won't show,did i do anything wrong here

body {
	background: #efefef; url(http://i.imgur.com/1OUUu.png);	
        color: #000;	
        font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
	font-size: 13px;
	text-align: center; /* IE 5 fix */
	line-height: 1.4;

Replace it with this:

body {
	background: #efefef url(http://i.imgur.com/1OUUu.png) repeat;
	color: #000;
	font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
	font-size: 13px;
	text-align: center; /* IE 5 fix */
	line-height: 1.4;
}

Replace with this;

body {
    background: #efefef url(http://i.imgur.com/1OUUu.png) repeat;    
        color: #000;    
        font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
    font-size: 13px;
    text-align: center; /* IE 5 fix */
    line-height: 1.4;
}

You can either install a plugin to do it or manually edit your index template. If you post your current index template I'll show you how to edit it to add a sidebar.
