Sorry I didn’t realize this would be considered a non WordPress question but I am very grateful. The problem has been solved. I found what I needed here. I foolishly never thought to search for ‘zodiac’ characters. Many thanks.

I am having no luck with this so far. Does anyone know any HTML codes for Astrological characters or where I might find them?

Hi there. I updated to 2.6 and it seems to be working now. Thanks very much Mark.

Hi. I have been having the same problem as described above but I can’t seem to get rid of that space in the 1st a href. I have tried manual editing within WordPress and copying and pasting. I have also tried the same thing via my host cpanel but i still have that space and the link is still opening in the same window. Any suggestions?

Hi there and thanks to everyone for advice. I actually found the solution yesterday but I have been busy since. Sorry about the delay. The solution was as Chris_K suggested. Firefox-> View-> Zoom-> Reset fixed it. Thanks again everyone.

Thanks RVoodoo. Things look OK in IE. Looks like something wrong in firefox. I’ll chek it out. Thanks again.

Sorry I should have said I use Firefox if that makes any difference. I also have the latest version of WP and my site is https://www.Pensaro.com

Since first posting the above I have kome to realize that the best publicity komes from posting what people are interested in. Kan anyone tell if I kan remove the above post? Pensisto.

I have solved the problem. I uninstalled and then reinstalled Magic Blue. Then I put in the extra bit about background being fixed and now it is. Don’t know why it had to be done that way but at least its done. Thanks for the suggestions. ??

Hi there RVoodo. Thanks for your suggestion. I tried it as you said but the background image is still scrolling with the page. I want the background to remain still while the page scrolls, just as your own site.??? Pensisto.

Further info in case of other suggestions.
This is what is in style.css;

body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #333;
text-align:center;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 100.1%;
background: #777;
}

and this is what is in header.php;

body{ background: #fff url(“<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/images/holly2.JPG”);

}
pensisto.

Thanks tugbucket. I tried your suggestion. I inserted that piece of code into both css and header.php but the background image is still scrolling with the page. ???

I couldn’t find anywhere in the style sheet to change that but changing things in the the header.php has done the trick. Many, many thanks. Big smiles! Pensaro1.

To Samboll, I just uploaded and renamed the image I want. No change. To pboosten my site is https://www.pensaro.com. Thanks.

I actually tried replacing the existing ‘.gif’ with a new .gif of the same name but different image color instead of using a .jpg. No change. I even tried borrowing a .gif from another theme, renaming to bodybg.gif and overwriting the existing .gif but nothing changes. I did these things via cpanel blog…themes/magicblue/images. Nothing seems to change. I don’t know enough about code yet to sort this out so I’m still stuck!
