First you will have to select the image you want to use.

The code is set to tile/repeat the image across the background so a small decorative image will do.

(Use 'CTRL F' for a search bar to find the code)


#sidebar-wrapper {


If you cant find that code it may be:

You will see '#sidebar-wrapper'followed by code similar to this :


#side-wrapper {
float: left;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */

}
