Background or Border?

  • I’ve been trying to figure this out for some time now, but can’t get it right. I have this webpage: annapark.com.ar/English (2011 theme). I would like to place this image around my content: https://annapark.com.ar/English/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/background-full1.jpg

    What should I do? I’ve been trying to figure out how to make it a content border, but my CSS skills are weak. If I was to make it a background, should I resize the image? But how can I get the bottom of the image to go under the content? Well, I’m sure someone out there knows this. Thank you in advance.

  • I don’t think this image can be used in your site, the size is not fit to your content.
    1. Draw a new image whose size is exact that can around your content.
    2. Edit your CSS file to put it on the right place.

    Colorvila,

    Thank you for responding. What size should I have my image so it could fit around the content? Then I’d have to edit my style.css?

    You would probably need to use that image as a background image — which is pretty tricky to do with any kind of responsive or flexible width page. The image would need to be big enough to fit around the width of the content (which would have to be a fixed width) — but it would be problematic to make the image adjust to varying heights of pages… It’s kind of possible if the background can be repeated without looking weird or bad — but that image probably won’t work for that.

    Making it work well requires a good knowledge of CSS and probably changing the structure of the page…and a lot of patience.

    Can you maybe use a modified version of the image as part of your header or something else on the pages?
