another background question

[thecatinthetree]

can someone please help me set up a background image-
I guess I need to make all the stuff that is there now transparent, or what?

I have an image I want for the background but what size does it need to be , etc...

I want to set it up so that the bg is fixed and the rest scrolls.

TIA!

maybe this is really basic, but I have been looking all over the forums and faq and cannot figure out how to do this!

anyone?

You want a background image for the header or for the sides of the page?

[thecatinthetree]

I want a background image for the entire page

something like this:

www.wolfandrabbit.com

or this:
http://www.clickpopstore.clickpoprecords.com/

Add the image to your body declaration in your stylesheet.css

body {
background-color: #fff;
background-image: url(your_image_location/image.jpg;
background-position: /* This will be centered, top, bottom, or a combination of these */
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}

Make the background-color of the other areas of the page transparent

ok! you are so awesome, clyde~

so I got it there, but it is, I guess, the wrong size- it is tiled. what do I need to do?

oh ok- I put no-repeat in there, but now it does not fill the entire page... what size do I need to make it to fit?

Honestly, get/use a new image. It's not tiled, 3/4 of it is black background and the baby only takes up a small area at the extreme bottom left.

Use an image of just the baby without any of the black background.

I need to redo the image, I can see that.

I want it like that only the baby is supposed to be bigger in the corner

ok I think I am figuring it out slowly but surely!!

I need to leave the house for a while, take a look and see what you think. I need to shift some stuff around obviously. ..

How can I move that center column over to the right so that it doesn't go over the corner baby? (I want the center part to start about where her head ends)

I also need to move the category line up- I think it is the padding or the logo height or something like that that is interfering...?


Thanks!!

Change the height declaration of #logoWrapper to 206px
