A Little Table Troubles, For layout experts only!!! Options

[ryanparks]

So I haven't been able to figure this out, but if anyone can provide either advice, or a solution, I would be eternally grateful.

Okay, check out my Xanga and you can see the body background clashes with the solid color background for my modules and blog. So what I want is a table that goes around all of my content (i.e. my mods and blogs) with a different background image (this one to be exact [it'll be tiled don't worry]). If anyone needs more info to figure this out (code, stylesheet, etc.) just IM, PM, leave a comment, whatever helps.

My problem is I can't seem to get a table around all my shizz. I now look to the gods of Createblog.com to provide me with an answer. *Gets down on knees and prays* Thanks!!!

Well, let me be a little more explicit:

What I want it to look like... (Sorry about the crappy quality.)

So where those lines are, I want a new table, that's behind my content, and where the squigglies are, I want the aforementioned (see first post) background.

Okay. instead of using a table, why wont you use a div instead? okay i dont kn0w of any other easier way to show this... but okay here we go.

So, if you know how to do photoshop or paint whatevers, you make a table on the background image right? and then you copy and paste the background you want in the table thingy, which makes that whole thing ONE background. then, you insert a div (div tutorial is in tutorial's section, or you can look at my kim heesun skin for an example of a div) to position your blog over it. get it? hopefully you did.

Well the problem is I'm semi-retarded, and I think I need a little more hand-holding, so if you could??? I'm still baffled about how to use it.

Okay everyone, I know it was late and all, but everything's good now, I got the extra table in there, I think I was just being a little dumb.
