I feel really silly asking this, but how do you add a Background-Image to an Infobox? I feel like I've missed something obvious.

I spent a couple hours on the weekend designing (read: trying) a really nice Infobox in Photoshop, but now I can't get it into the Wiki. I'm trying to give the second black box the image:

You'll have to use underscores instead of spaces in the url for background-image. Spaces are generally considered to be delimiters for urls.  Monchoman45  Talk  Contribs  Skystone  14:45,3/6/2012 

Okay I've fixed that mistake, but I'm not sure how to apply the class. This doesn't seem to provide the image:

<div class="InfoboxGradient" style="color:red;">hello world!</div>

You placed the infobox style code in the MediaWiki:Common.css, but that won't affect the main Wikia skin unless you import it into the MediaWiki:Wikia.css on that wiki.
I recommend that you add the following code to the top of MediaWiki:Wikia.css:
@import url("http://vampirewars.wikia.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&usemsgcache=yes&ctype=text/css&smaxage=86400&action=raw&maxage=86400");
