LOL
So I have gone through the tedious task of changing the color scheme of my blog (hosted at blogger.com) but I have run across a strange and seemingly unfixable problem.

I went to change the background to an image (repeated) and I have yet to add code that has in any way even affected my template.

Curently I have this code:
Code:
head {
background-image: url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v605/ashleystarfighter/002.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position: top center;
background-color: transparent;
}

as far as I can tell this should work.
If you have any comments, or even better if you have some source from a blogger hosted blog with a working background image, post away, please.

Try doing that image using HTML coding, namelt the Img src code

Code:
<img src="http://buttons.blogger.com/bloggerbutton1.gif"; alt="Powered by Blogger" />


That is how you add an image, not apply a background. Why get the poor guy more confused because you don't know??

Code:
body {  
background-image: url('http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v605/ashleystarfighter/002.gif');  
background-repeat: repeat;  
}

(Just copy and paste that code where your other code is, and it will work.)

Your code was applying the background the "head". Notice the first word in my code is "body". 2nd problem was forgetting the single quotes around the URL. 3rd error: if you just want it to repeat, you don't need background-position. Background-color doesn't need to be there, either, if the image will be repeated over the entire background.

Let me know if you have more questions!

Hmm. Usually you have to put ("http:....jpeg")

I have no clue if the quotes do anything, but it is worth a shot.

man, now i with that i still knew how to use HTML code and that stuff, i did a while ago, but i didn't do it much after that, and i kinda forgot =( . BUT, depending what editor your using, that looks correct. Sometimes extra spaces might skrew it up.
