change the background ?

Hi,

I would also like to change the background of my website. Does it have to come from a website (i.e. relate to a url address) or can I use an .jpg image?

Thanks very much

Hi,

Thanks for the response. I am very new to this & I have tried changing the url and entering the images address, which is situated on my computer, but the background just goes blank.

Do you know where on the stylesheet I imput this information, because I have never worked with web-pages or anything of the sort before?

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated

Open up your style.css file and look for the “background” property within the “body” tag.

body{
background:……

or..

background-image(

e.g.

}

body{
background-color: black;
}

body{
background:url(/images/mybackground.jpg);
}

I would read up on CSS and background, give google search a whirl.

/* General */

body {

	margin: 0;

	background: #AB682F;

}

This section of your style.css is going to be what controls that orangeish bg colour. You can simply adjust that hex code to anything you’d like. Or you can work on adding photo if you like….. Pictures can be hard to work with and keep things looking professional. You’ve gotta worry about how they repeat, etc…

here’s an example of the code I use to set my background:
background: #000 url('images/bg_tile.gif') repeat fixed;

if you are willing to read up on css just a bit, it will definitely help you along the way
