on my xanga, i have a plain black background but i want to put in a different background. i put the url for the background in the box at the bottom of my look and feel but when i click save changes, the background stays black. if u want, i could c/p mi custom header and website stats to u. thanks in advance!!!

maybe you pasted the bg url in the music box rather than the background image spot. check.

no, i checked

Use this code to add a background:
<style type="text/css">
body
{background-color: #000000;
background-image: url ("URL OF YOUR BACKGROUND");
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center; }
</style>

Custom Header.
