Hello!
I am following the instructions required in my style.css but when I add the following code nothing happens, I cannot see the background color in "Browse Our Cupcakes" so I cannot keep on working in my website :-(
Please find the code below:
.btn { color: #FAF3BC; background: #4FB69F url('/Users/janire/Desktop/Programacion/css/css/imgcss/texture.jpg') no-repeat right top; padding:15px 30px; margin: 40px 0px; border-radius: 25px; text-transform: uppercase; }
.btn:hover { background-color: #4CC4A7; }
Anyone could help me? Thanks in advance.

Secondly, make sure your url is relative to your main html file. When linking to an image or file, start your url from the directory that your html file is in. Most people have a folder with all their html files in it, then inside that folder they have an "img" folder for images, "css" folder for css files, etc. So it that's the case, your url should look like url("img/texture.png"). Starting from the location of the html file, ask yourself where you have to go from there to get to your img, and that's how you should write your url.

I would just create a new folder for your images and use a relative path for the CSS code ie. background: url(IMG/myphoto);

The problem was the path that I was using... I am new in the platform and sometimes I get lost but step by step I am getting used to it...
Love this community :-)
