I'm looking to create a style and theme for my website that looks as if it's written on parchment.

So instead of pixel borders, i would like borders like this: http://www.gorgeousgeorge.com/images/pagan-parchment.jpg

I know how to create the graphic borders and make them look seemless, etc. and i know that they are CSS border "backgrounds" so i know how to implement them on the website.

What i don't know and not sure of is, where/how in the templates styles do i specifiy that "scroll-border-left" will be the left borders on all pages, "scroll-border-top-corner-left" will be the top-left corner of the borders on all pages, "scroll-border-right", "scroll-border-bottom" etc etc

Could someone please direct me on how to do this if documentation already exists or take the time to tell me how to do it?

you would specifiy those in the page css class in the main CSS section of the style manager.

LOL that's funny. We're working on a similar skin (only our edges are rolled) :)

haha, very cool! good luck with yours!

you would specifiy those in the page css class in the main CSS section of the style manager.

Would I do that in the "Extra CSS Attributes" box ?

And do you know the CSS code I would use?

For instance:

border-left: url (image..)
border-right: url (image..)

??

Tia!
