Coding is Frustrating

Frustrating indeed. I'm working on my biography, and I want a nice fixed background. Y'all might know about the handy dandy F12 key, where you can peek into the coding on the page you're on. But I don't wanna do that, 'cause I feel like I'm stealing other people's layouts just by snipping a few stuff here and there and changing the colors.

Code please! Or a tutorial about background images would do just fine! (Tutorials that have nothing to do with this community don't really work...)

I learned most of what I know

I learned most of what I know from help sites and unplugged's template. I don't think there's any way to "steal" code, as no one here invented it.. some of us grew up on Neopets and I know I peeked at source codes more than once.

ALSO(because I forgot to click edit) if you need to know something specific about backgrounds, I'll try to share and/or explain.

Well, maybe I'll try and figure out how people manage to get a background with images instead of just color. And fixed ones. :3 *F12 button*

Ooh, but if ya can, can you post, like, the code for fixed backgrounds? Let's say, on the brown section of the journal. Or even the whole thing. xD

You are more than happy to

You are more than happy to use the coding I've done in this page as a template since it features a fixed background image, if that's what you're looking for. I would also advise looking up Unplugged's css editing blogs, as those are where I learned everything and got all my codes.

Thankee, Terabetha! I've actually been lurking around Unplugged's stuff, but I'll keep doing that. xD

background:url('URL HERE');

background:url('URL HERE'); background-attachment:fixed;

^I didn't copy-paste, so the background url part might not be right.

Thanks, 3! I will need to put that between < style >< /style >, yes? Or just regular little arrows?

I'll mess around with it, and see what'll get it workin'.

you know the parts that

you know the parts that define what you want to change, right? like .node and #comments? put that within the {} in the stylesheet.
