I've been looking all over the site, and I'm not exactly sure if I can or cannot do this. With CSS can we do gradients for backgrounds?

I have 0 experience with CSS, but I would think you'd just make your gradient as a image, then use the image for the background. I don't think it is possible to straight up make a gradient as a full background. Perhaps for small boxes and so forth.

Yes! You can do gradient!

You can do it like they suggested but you can also use
Code:
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #1e5799 0%,#2989d8 50%,#207cca 51%,#7db9e8 100%);

http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/ is a handy generator :D

Neat!
OMG Thank you so much. I love gradient backgrounds and it's something that worked on RPG so I wanted to be sure I could do the same thing here. What a relief! And that linked site is literally my very favorite Gradient maker.
Just to test this a bit, is this too long? Does it matter how long the code is?

background: -webkit-linear-gradient(background: rgb(0,61,2);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(45deg, rgba(0,61,2,1) 3%, rgba(0,145,21,1) 26%, rgba(0,84,5,1) 90%);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(45deg, rgba(0,61,2,1) 3%,rgba(0,145,21,1) 26%,rgba(0,84,5,1) 90%);
background: linear-gradient(45deg, rgba(0,61,2,1) 3%,rgba(0,145,21,1) 26%,rgba(0,84,5,1) 90%);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#003d02', endColorstr='#005405',GradientType=1 );)
