Somebody told me recently that I was intimidating; that I can be a bit overwhelming and that they could imagine some folks shaking when they may first meet me. They also said that they imagined it took a lot before any person was considered by me to be my folk, but that when they do that I was loyal. My response was, “I am not intimidating Jones, I’m meek and the meek shall inherit the earth

WASHINGTON - DESPITE a recent spike in the unemployment rate, the danger that the US economy has fallen into a 'substantial downturn' appears to have waned, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Monday.

So this morning, I'm checking out the daily forums on The Urban Blogger and a post by my girl Necole Bitchie catches my eye. She poses the question "Are you guys on any "white sites" blog rolls." to our fellow bloggers. She goes on to recount an experience that she had with Faded Youth Blog and posts an email that she received from them.
By the excerpt below, F.Y.B. is making it crystal clear
Have you noticed how nothing ever seems to go out of style these days? It's like more and more "in" styles just keep on getting thrown into the mix, yet nothing ever gets tossed "out." But hey, we're not complaining cuz it just means that we babes on a budget get more bang for our buck. (Try saying that five times fast.)
Back to the trend on hand: Denim lightens up for Spring. Try the look with faded flare-leg jeans a la Nicole and Posh. Trust us, you'll like having another pair of pants on hand when your dark skinnies start to disintegrate from all the Winter wear-n-tear (but don't worry, those will still be "in," too!)

This is something that I have been interested in for quite some time but have never gotten around to looking into how to do it until today.
The process is really simple you just need the right code and then the image. To create the image you will need Adobe Photoshop. I know that not everyone will have this program so you can find 30 free images at BittBox.
Now for those that have Photoshop; the size of the image is 1px x 500px and to give the faded apperance you use the gradient tool. Click the tool then take the cursor and drag it done the middle of your image. The image results afterwards is in the screen shot below before I used the tool the image was just the dark gray at the top. There are other opitions with the gradient tool besides the one that I used; that you can use for different background effects.
The Code for Wordpress & Blogger:

Presentation => Theme Editor => Style.css
Find the body { and add the url for the image like below:
