 * So I somehow always run into this issue when first building websites. I have 
   a background in my main body tag:
 * body {
    background-image: url(images/KS_MainBkgd.jpg); background-repeat: no-
   repeat; background-position: center top; font:62.5% “Times New Roman”, Times,
   serif; line-height:1.7em; color:#444; }
 * Then I have a div wrapper with another background inside:
 * #wrapper {
    background-image: url(images/KS_MainContBkgd.png); background-repeat:
   no-repeat; background-position: 0px 25px; width: 824px; height: 1235px; margin:
   240px auto; padding: 0px 0 0 0; }
 * The problem I’m having is that when I add the margin to the wrapper to position
   it where I want it it’s adding that amount to the bottom of the page and also
   cutting off the bottom of the background in the div wrapper? Is there a better
   way to position things?
