Well, it turns out that didn’t really work… I’m talking about this post.

Putting multiple background elements into a single style in a CSS file does not work (with most browsers). It works with browsers like Safari that support CSS3. CSS3 will have the ability to have multiple backgrounds in one style. Until more browsers support CSS3 you’ve gotta use multiple div’s or span’s to get multiple images.

It took me a little while to figure out a fool-proof way of getting this working with these on the particular wordpress theme I was designing.
