I want to put a background image in the will show on either sideof the main area looking in webmaster using the debuggin consule i dont see that area light up when i scroll through the template names

any ideas?

By either side of the main area, do you mean the white space outside of your site?

hi
yes this is what i mean
thanks

That is set by adding a background image to the BODY class in skin1.css. The format for the css is:

background: url(images/image.jpg);

You would need to upload the image to your skin1 directory.

[sakeena]

ok so then should it be
background: url(skin1/images/image.jpg);
since it is in th eskin1 folder

i tried a bunch of ways im not sure i understand
here is my BODY line from css
HTML,BODY { margin: 0px 7px 0px 7px; background: #fff; }

can you show me exactly how it should be written out with the image in the skin1/images folder

[balinor]

I did show you exactly...you don't need the skin1 because the css file you are adding to is already in teh skin1 folder. Type this exactly in your skin1.css file:

BODY {background: url(images/image.jpg);}

Replace image.jpg with the name of your file.

I attempted to follow the instructions and got a white background both inside and outside of my site.

HTML,BODY {
HEIGHT: 100%;
MARGIN: 0px;
PADDING: 0px;
Background-color: #FFFBD3;}

The last line was replaced with
background: url(images/camo.jpg);
Any idea what I am doing wrong.

Thanks

HTML doesn't accept a background image class, so you would need to break out the BODY to its own class.

Thanks balinor, I figured it out... I jumped the gun and asked the question to fast.
