    Hi all,

    I just have a small question which I’m hoping is easy to resolve. I’ve just built my first wordpress site – http://milliebeasvintage.com/

    If you take a look, you will see there is only a small strip of the tiled background image behind the white header. I want to nudge things down a little so more of the background becomes visible. When I try to do this with Firebug, there’s no problem… I see this:

    #container {
    -moz-background-clip:border;
    -moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
    -moz-background-origin:padding;
    background:#FFFFFF none repeat scroll 0 0;
    border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
    margin:20px auto;
    overflow:hidden;
    text-align:left;
    width:1060px;

    I simply change the margin from 20px to 90px, and get the look I want. But when I try to modify the actual stylesheet, I see this:

    #container {
    background: #FFFFFF;
    width: 1060px;
    text-align: left;
    margin: 20px auto 20px auto;
    border: 1px solid #cccccc;
    overflow: hidden;
    }

    When I change the margins here, nothing happens. I’d really appreciate any and all suggestions.

    Thanks,
    Stephanie

  • You should be able to copy the CSS from the Firebug panel and paste it over the CSS in your style.css file. This will work in most cases.

    NB: The -moz-background properties are browser (Firefox) specific and may not be required in a lot of cases, such as this one.
