How do I change the background?

When creating your website, one of the first things you'll want to do is change the background. You can choose to change the background color, or to add an image.


Changing Background Color
To change your background color, you would use this code, then change the color to whichever you like. You can either use a hex code (6 digit representation of a color), or a proper color name. For a complete color chart with listed color names and hex codes, click here.

Adding a Background Image
To add an image as your background, first choose the image you wish to use. The image then needs to be uploaded to the internet. Once that's done, use this code to add it to your page. Just change the URL in the code to the URL of your background image. If the image is smaller than your page resolution, you will see the image tiled (repeated) on your page. If the image is the same size as your screen resolution, or as the resolution of any one else seeing your page, they will see it as one full image.

Adding a Background Image That Doesn't Scroll
Okay, you've got your background image on your page, but you've decided you can't stand it when you scroll down the page, and the background scrolls too. This is simple to fix, by making it fixed! A fixed background stays in the same position, regardless of whether the page scrolls or not. Use this code to make the image fixed.
