Adding a border (background) around my site

[swillaby]

I am very new to this and need a little help. I want to add a border (background) around my site, just on the left and right outer edges, instead of the pink color. I have searched the forums and have tried several different things but nothing has worked correctly. Thanks in advance for any help!

In your stylesheet.cs file the first entry is

body {
	margin: 0;
	font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 62.5%;
	color: #664826;
	background-color: #FFBBD5;
	}

Create/upload your image to your template/images folder and edit the above to include:

body {
	margin: 0;
	font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 62.5%;
	color: #664826;
	background-color: #FFBBD5;
        background-image: url(../images/your_new_bg.jpg);
	background-repeat: repeat;  add-x  or -y depending on the image
	}

In your stylesheet add your backgound image information here:

body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #664826;
background-color: #FFBBD5;
background-image: url(../images/yourpic.gif;)
background-image repeat: repeat-yes;
}

Ok, I added that code but nothing happened, the background is still pink. I am sure I am doing something stupid. I did upload the bg image. Also the computer I am on is using Windows XP, but I looked at the site on my laptop which has Vista, and everything is all jumbled. What could be making it look different.
Thanks!

You have:

background-image: url(../images/bg33.jpg;) 
background-image repeat: repeat-yes;

I posted:

background-image: url(../images/your_new_bg.jpg);
	background-repeat: repeat;

url(../images/bg33.jpg;)

needs to be

url(../images/bg33.jpg);

repeat-yes is not a valid call
