Hello all

A bit of a noob with some of this stuff. I would like to add images on the side bars on my site. Ideally, some sort of pattern that repeats smoothly as someone scrolls down. Or maybe something fixed length that is the size height of the site. Regardless, how could I go about doing this?

In case anyone wants to see what I mean, my site is http://www.derangedgamer.com and grey side bars is what I would like to change.

You can modify the CSS files to alter the background of the site. You would open this file:

http://www.derangedgamer.com/templates/beez_20/css/personal.css

Find this code:

Code:
body
{
  background: #e0dedf  url(../images/personal/bg2.png) repeat-x;
  color: #333;
  font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

The first line is what you'll need to modify as it contains the background color and a background image which is set to repeat horizontally. To learn more about this visit here:

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

Also, firebug is great for finding the location of code/files you need to modify. See the video tutorials here:

http://docs.joomla.org/Using_Firebug_Wi ... la_Website

Note: Always make a backup of your file/code before editing it so that you can revert back in case something goes wrong.
