I'm trying to set Elke's background to the same brown in the actual image I'm using for her layout.

I've attempted to use

body {background-color: ;}

to do that (and currently have that in her coding), but it's not actually doing anything.

I'm not sure what coding you're supposed to use - or if you even CAN - when you're trying to do a background image AND color.

Uhm..help? ;;

Hello there, your code is correct (though as a whole it could use some trimming ;) ) All you lack is really a part of profile set-up, namely {background: none;} which should get rid of the white on the right c:

Yeah, I'm still trying to get used to the whole coding business. ^^; Thank you! Though...is there somewhere specific it needs to go? Because as it is right now, it's not changing anything. :x

...right. SO. I appear to be incapable of saying a word on this board and not derping this week. Sorry. rightbg was display:none'd by you already and

html {background: url(); repeat-x;} is the superfluous part, I managed to remove and promptly forget I did so.

AHHH thank you! ;w;
