Image as a background?

[Serious]

So what do I do with this?

background-position:center; - - is not valid

You still have July capitalized in your post - what is it for the actual filename? What is it in your stylesheet?

I renamed the pic and made the applicable changes in the stylesheet.

This is what I have now:

body {

background-image: url(../images/042008pic.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position:;
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 62.5%;
color: #000000;
background-color: #e5edf5;

So until I find out what to do with background-position:; I'm kinda dead in the water.

It is a background and being repeated vertically so should not require a position

The site is only on my pc at this time.

Still nothing.

I've still got the nasty pink-ish color on the left and the blue-ish on the right side.

Anyone tell me how to make that nastyness diasappear?

Some Progress!!

Figured out how to eliminate some seriously ugly colors and am down to a mostly white background.

Then...a serendipitous moment!
a happened to be intently watching the screen after changing my stylesheet and refreshing the screen. For an instant I saw the pic I've been trying to use as my background. So I'm close!!

Any hints, tricks or techniques?

If I haven't been clear as to what I'm trying to accomplish, let me try again.
I've got an awesome picture that I want to use as the backround for at least the first page of my site. After I get that figure out I'll added boxes on top of the image where I want them. Basically a wallpaper to build on top if.

Does that make sense to anyone?

Is it possible to have a different background pic on each page?
