 * Wazzup(“,)Guys!
    I just want some help with regards to my codes. I can’t seem
   to find a way to expand my post box..wherein my 1 px image will repeat in a y-
   axis manner with regards to the number of post. Maybe the placement of my div
   tags is wrong?or maybe something is missing. I hope you can help me guys or show
   an example(“,). Here’s my xhtml:
 * >  <?php get_header(); ?>
   >  <div id=”postbox-top”> <!– a 15 px top corner with rounded corners –>
   >  </div
   > >
   >  <div id=”postbox-center”> <!– 1px image that will repeat with regards to the
   > number of post –>
   >  <div id=”container”>
   >  <?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
   >  <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   >  <h2>”title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   >  <div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
   >  <div class=”entry”>
   >  <?php the_content(); ?>
   >  <p class=”postmetadata”>
   >  <?php _e(‘Filed under:’); ?> <?php the_category(‘,‘)?
   > > <?php _e(‘by’); ?> <?php the_author(); ?> <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments»’,‘
   > 1 Comment »’, ‘% Comments »’); ?> <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit’, ‘ | ‘, ”); ?
   > > </p>
   >  </div> <!– entry div end –>
   >  </div> <!– post div end –>
   >  <?php endwhile; ?>
   >  <div class=”navigation”>
   >  <?php posts_nav_link(); ?> </div> <?php else : ?
   > >
   >  <div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
   >  <h2><?php _e(‘Not Found’);?
   > ></h2> </div>
   >  <?php endif; ?>
   >  </div> <!– container div end –>
   >  </div> <!– postbox-center div end–>
   >  <div id=”postbox-bottom”> <!– a 15 px bottom corner with rounded corners –
   > >
   >  </div>
   >  <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   >  <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/sidebar2.php’); ?>
   >  <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/featured.php’); ?>
   >  <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/aboutbox.php’); ?>
   >  <?php get_footer(); ?>
   >  </body>
   >  </div> <!– wrapper div end –>
   >  </html>
 * and here’s my CSS for the post box:
 * >  #postbox-top {
   >  position:absolute; left:212px; top:351px; width:601px; height:
   > 15px; background:url(images/postbox-top.jpg); }
   >  #postbox-center {
   >  position:absolute; left:212px; top:466px; width:601px; 
   > height:1px; background:url(images/postbox-center.jpg); background-repeat:repeat-
   > y; }
   >  #postbox-bottom {
   >  position:absolute; left:212px; top:625px; width:601px; 
   > height:15px; background:url(images/postbox-bottom.jpg); }

 * Should it be the #postbox-bottom(“.)that will be repeated?
    because this is a
   rounded corner located at the bottom. I think it should be the #postbox-center
   that should be repeated.
