k 2 questions
i bet this is REALLY simple, but i just learned how to make a layout & i wanted to have a pic instead of type as the header. i've got a background pick too, but i made 1 with words that i want to stick to & scroll up as the blog moves up

another thing i want to know, is how to make it so you have 1 pic as the background that covers the whole page. do you just make a normal image with a certain size. if so, what is the size?

i wanted to have a pic instead of type as the header

In the Header section of the Look & Feel page, choose "Input your own HTML" from the drop-down list and put in this:
<center><img src="URL OF YOUR HEADER"></center>

is how to make it so you have 1 pic as the background that covers the whole page

- If you're determined on one image that you DON'T wish to have set to repeat/tiled, you can't "stretch" it with CSS. However, there's always the option of automatically resizing the window when a guest visits just so that your background fits.
- If it's an image that you don't mind being repeated/tiled, go to the Background section of the Look & Feel page, and just choose "repeat in all directions".
- If you just want one big image as your background, like a wallpaper, I'd recommend going 1024 x 768.

thnx that really helped
you're awsome! :)
