Re: How To put an image background on my website

I don't use bravehost, but I would expect that "publishing" is just for pages created by the wizard, so you save your pages, the wizard modifies the styles.css file, then you can go into the styles.css file and make changes. Once you click "save" on the styles.css file it will automatically upload ("publish") the styles.css file.

Once you've made the change and saved the file then go to the page on the web (http://thelordsplace.us). If you don't see any changes then it may be using a cached version of the stylesheet. Try using crtl+f5, or failing that clearing the cache (howto about half way down this page). If there still isn't any changes then post back here before you do anything else and we can take a look at it.

Hope this makes sense

Re: How To put an image background on my website

I did it. I figured out that you can't publish it through website wizzrd once you edited the code into the css file. I also figured out how to do the page view without going into wizzard.

My background picture is working now, so all is well, so Thanks Corwell and scutterman. It worked the way you both said.

Re: How To put an image background on my website

Good to hear it's working.

Just a point of note. I've heard that the website wizard is very poorly implemented. It may be worth learning html so you don't need to use the wizard, and avoid having to change the styles.css file every time you create a page. It's a steep learning curve to start with but well worth it in the end. And there'll always be people here willing to point you in the right direction.

Ya! I figured out that I'll have to keep re-entering the background code into css everytime I makes changes to my website and publish through website wizzard, so I understand what you meant now, by doing all my other changes, then publish, and then re-enter or edit my background code into the CSS file again and again everytime i use and publish through website wizzard.

I do under html a liitle bit, so i understand html codes, but I'm no expert with it, so I'll be studying out how to use it on my website more, but it will be trial and error for a while, and Thanks again for your help. i get it now.
