Tiled background and main text area problem

[jconshue]

I'm in the beginning stages of making my site. I added a tiled background to the main background, but it also showed up in my main text area. I want this area to be white so you can read the text. How do I fix this?

Try enter this in your stylesheet.css instead of "background"

body {
	margin: 0;
	font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 62.5%;
	color: #000000;
	background-image: url(../images/paris_purple.gif);
        background-repeat: repeat; 
	}

See if this helps
