I want to change the color of the footer and replace the whole footer with a textured image.

12,955 PointsAs Joseph points out - you want to modify the Style.css file and look for the overall container DIV for the footer, typically a class called .footer
You can add a background-image property to assign the image like this:
.footer {
background-image: url(backgroundImage.jpg);
}
This assumes that the backgroundImage.jpg is in the same directory as your Style.css file, you can adjust the path as necessary depending on your setup, for example if the images are stored in an images directory in the main theme directory, then you would change it to background-image: url(/images/backgroundImage.jpg); instead.

Courses Plus Student 885 PointsThanks you guys. I actually figured it out, shortly after I posted the question. Sometimes the answer comes to you if you walk away from the project for a while. As in this case it did. Thanks Again.
