# CSS Repeating Backgrounds?

 * Earlier today, I was assisted in adding social share buttons to my index page
   so that users could easily share posts from the homepage.
 *  Behind both the ‘Read More’ and the social images, I’d like to have a repeating
   background for the x-axis (image is here: [http://bit.ly/fjjDr2](http://bit.ly/fjjDr2))
   so that you can still see the ‘Read More’ and images but behind them (like Photoshop
   layers) is the background.
 * I tried simply making this class in the css, along with a <span> tags around 
   the ‘more’ part of the index, but it didn’t work. Any ideas?
 * Here is a sample of my index.php: [http://snipplr.com/view/50169/index-preview/](http://snipplr.com/view/50169/index-preview/)
 * This is what I have so far for the CSS class:
 *     ```
       .social_share{  
   
           background: url(http://www.techteenager.net/wp-content/themes/TTN%20Advanced/images/more_repeat.png)  repeat-x;
           height:20px;
           overflow:hidden;
       }
       ```

           overflow:hidden;
           background-repeat:repeat-x;
       }
       ```

 * Does the image appear at all, or does it merely fail to repeat?
