Blueprint skin - add background header image?

In the Blueprint skin file /css/header.css, find near line 98:

#header-container .box-session .content {
	position: relative;
}

Add ABOVE:

/* Remove .box-session for wider distribution of image */
#header-container .box-session {
	background: url(../images/patterns/fabric_light.jpg);
}

This is what I now have, but no background image is appearing...

 

/* Top Session */

#upper_header .box-session {
	float: right;
	margin-right: 1.5em;
	position: relative;
	z-index: 601;
}

/* Remove .box-session for wider distribution of image */
#header-container .box-session {
	background: url(../images/logos/TwitterHead.jpg);
}
#header-container .box-session .content {
	position: relative;
}

Please check the spelling the /logos/ folder name. My copy of Blueprint (v1.5) has /logo/.

Also, I get the impression that TwitterHead.jpg may be a non-repeatable image. If so, you may need to make this property:

background: url(../images/logos/TwitterHead.jpg) no-repeat;

Ok, this has actually focused on the session box. So, make it:

From:

/* Remove .box-session for wider distribution of image */
#header-container .box-session {
	background: url(../images/logo/TwitterHead.jpg);
}

To:

#header-container {
	background: url(../images/logo/TwitterHead.jpg);
}

Because it is a background image, the display of it is suppose to repeat to cover the area it is in -- especially if that area changes if the width of the browser window is different from visitor to visitor, or the visitor changes the width of the browser.. As such, there will be no "appropriate size".
