  • Hi Laura0268,

    Can you please have a look at this article to set background-image: https://css-tricks.com/perfect-full-page-background-image/ ?

    You can try adding the following CSS:

    html {
  background: url(https://placeholdit.imgix.net/~text?txtsize=33&txt=350%C3%97150&w=350&h=150) no-repeat center center fixed;
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;
}

    Cheers!

    this is what i need to add to my page in order for it to have the look i want…
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Your title goes here</title>
    </head>
    <body background=”blue_dot.jpg”>

    </center>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </center>
    </body></html>

    Hi Laura0268,

    Try replacing

    <body background="blue_dot.jpg">

    with

    <body>

    and add the following code before </head>

    <style type="text/css">
    html {
      background: url(https://placeholdit.imgix.net/~text?txtsize=33&txt=350%C3%97150&w=350&h=150) no-repeat center center fixed;
      -webkit-background-size: cover;
      -moz-background-size: cover;
      -o-background-size: cover;
      background-size: cover;
}
</style>

    and then replace https://placeholdit.imgix.net/~text?txtsize=33&txt=350%C3%97150&w=350&h=150 with the link to your image.

    Cheers!
