    HI All,
    Due to the super response I got last time – thank you all – I have another problem I’m hoping you can help me with – having no experience of web design at all!
    I’ve added the custom background plugin to my website (serenitytherapies.net) and am trying to get the logo (same as the favicon) as a background image to fill the whole page and preferably be slightly paler (or translucent?) so you can still see the writing on top of it.
    Can I do this with the plugin or do I need to write some sort of code? If I need to write the code – can anyone explain it really simply for me as I’ve tried reading around the topics but have got completely lost! I know you can’t stretch a background image but you can ‘fake’ stretch it using divs or something but I have no idea what all this means!
    Apologies for the lack of understanding – hopefully you can consider it a challenge?!
    Many thanks,
    Emma

    I’ve added the custom background plugin

    You don’t need a plugin for custom backgrounds in WP 3.0

    And you can’t fake a stretch on a background image over a div either. All you can do it allow the background to tile.

    ah OK. Sorry, I’ve read loads of different forums about putting code in to make a seem like it’s stretching, maybe I got this wrong.

    Maybe I explained myself wrong – I read this post and that is what I’ve done.

    Sorry for the confusion.
