Custom CSS - Help For Beginners

Post by poko »

Does anyone have tips for beginners on how to create/edit custom CSS code for one's profile?
What I'm mainly looking for is what each part of the profile page is called. For example, what is the Magistream banner at the top called so I can edit/change it? Also, are there size limits I need to be aware of?
IK this might be too difficult to explain in a forum. I'm happy to pay someone in gold or creatures to customise my profile for me, though I would love to learn how to do it myself :lol:
I really want to change the background to an image. I tested the link works, but when I implement the code, all I get is a white background :sweat:
Here is a sample of my code as an example (if it helps):

Code: Select all

body {
background-image: url("https://i.imgur.com/ndDVXru.png");
background-position: center;
}
I specified the position to see if that would help, but it doesn't.

So I discovered that the reason the image wasn't loading was because I had it in quotes!
I also learnt that using Inspect Element helps with finding out the names of the different components of the site.
That being said, I'm still have issues with the Magistream header image, header bar, and the padding(?) behind the page bodies.
Maybe they are made to not be changed, but I'll keep posting my thoughts here so people can correct me if needed. ^.^
