 * Hey guys,
 * This is my first shot at transitioning an HTML/CSS template to WordPress and 
   I’m having some trouble with a repeating background image.
 * This is my blog link: [Blog](http://blog.virtuallycreative.ca)
 * I’m not sure where in my CSS I’m screwing this up, but here are my CSS properties
   for the background:
    `body { background: url(images/bg2.png); font-size:12px;
   font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Tahoma, Arial, san-serif;
   color:#000000;}`
 * Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

 * Your Background image height is 937px but the content in this page is more than
   937px.
 * Change the background image height.

 * True, but wouldn’t the length be dynamic depending on how long the post is? thus,
   in this case making the site longer than the background?
 * How can I repeat white once the background image has run out so that it gives
   the illusion that the image continues?
 * Would adding a `repeat-x: #FFFFFF;` to the body tag help in this instance? It
   would look like:
 * `body { background: url(images/bg2.png); repeat-x: #FFFFFF; font-size:12px; font-
   family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Tahoma, Arial, san-serif; color:#
   000000;}`

 * no need to add #ffffff
    this will do… background:url(“images/bg2.png”) repeat-
   x; color:#000000; font-family:’Lucida Grande’,’Lucida Sans Unicode’,Tahoma,Arial,
   san-serif; font-size:12px;
 * in this case the bg image show only one time and bg will be white after the bottom
   image.

 * Ok, i tried the above fix and uploaded the new style.css to the blog but I’m 
   still having the same issue.

 * I checked your CSS,
 * background-repeat SHOULD BE
    background-repeat: repeat-x; NOT background-repeat:
   repeat;
 * See your CSS and update
 * body (line 14)
    { background-color: transparent; background-image: url(“images/
   bg2.png”); background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll; background-
   position: 0% 0%; font-size: 12px; font-family: ‘Lucida Grande’,’Lucida Sans Unicode’,
   Tahoma,Arial,san-serif; }
