Hurmm, you know when you want to repeat an image over in the background image to extend to fit the blog.

Well, something went horribly wrong, it extended on top of my image. Ahhhh! How do I get rid of it. I tried moving the image up so the white part of it could cover up the background image, but it didn't do anything.

Help? pinch.gif

Try moving your image with a div to position to where you want it to be.

Uh. Can you show us what it looks like on a xanga site? Or yours? I can't really image what it's looking like by a screenshot because all I see is Kingdom Hearts people and two shapes of the same colour.

As I said, I tried moving it, but it didn't work.

Oh. If you're putting it in your look and feel, then try changing the settings.
Or are you using a code?

body {
background-image:url(URL for the boxes)
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: top left;


That's what I used in my Header HTML.

Easier way is that you can take the URL of the image, and put it in your look and feel and position it from that. I swear, it's easier.

Easy. Um, better yet, I'm going to give a screenshot.
Do exactly what it has there. It should work. If not, play around and eventually it will.

Wait wouldn't that be the same thing. Because I want the background image to repeat so that it can extend with the blog but somehow cover the top part so that it would'nt look weird.

Because if I don't repeat the background image. It looks like this:



Because the image that I'm using doesn't have long enough boxes to include all the blog.
