How to Change the Background of Your Wikispace Using CSS 
August 9th, 2009
Don’t let the title scare you, teachers! I show you step-by-step how you can change both the background color and background image of your wikispace using CSS. To change your background image, you first have to upload your image to your wikispace, and then you need to create a custom template based off of one of the default wikispace themes. Watch the video tutorial for complete instructions.
A couple of things I’d like to mention when changing your wikispace theme…
ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR WIKISPACE FIRST! To do this, go to Manage Wiki, then Exports, then click the Export Wiki button. It will then email you a backup copy of your wikispace. Do this FIRST before changing your theme, just in case. If you don’t like the color or background image you’ve added to your custom template, you can always go back to the Themes section of your wikispace, and change it back to the default theme.
How do I get the code to copy and paste when I’m trying to add text boxes? The download file just opens as a HTML page in Firefox? Help?
Just sent you an email about it, William. Thanks for the question, and glad to help you out.
Can you make a table with rounded edges?
I did this step by step and it did not work!
Hi, I'd love to help you out. Sometimes the littlest mistake in the CSS can prevent it from working. Let me know if you'd like some help, and I'd be glad to walk you through it to see where your code might be messing up.
Yes, you can make a table with rounded edges. Simply copy and paste this CSS code within your CSS file, and it should work….
table { -webkit-border-radius: 10px;
-khtml-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
}
