/* end: others */Without seeing your site or anything I will give you the code to repeat a background tile.
Find
body { margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0; font-size: 90%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */ font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; background-color: #02142C; color: #02142C; text-align: center; }
Change
background-color:#02142C;
tobackground: url(path to your image) 0 0 repeat;
This is good for a repeated background image.
If you have one image and you want it centered, use this:
background: url(path to your image) 50% 0 no-repeat fixed;
You can check out
https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.aspfor more info on this.
Hope that helps.
BigDi will be lad to send u my site privately so u can see where id like the bg see i want the center section which is where my sidebar and text is and such to stay a solid blue but beyond that ,outside the center frame section i want an image as my bg but when i try this it changes me header and cuts off 2 inches towards the top…..maybe if u seen my site ud understand more u wanna do that?
