 * Thanks for looking at this first off. Alright, my problem is I can’t figure out
   how to get my background and header to completely cover my page. For example,
   here’s the [site](http://nadiyah.net/blog).
 * >  body{
   >  background-image: url(/images/greyback2.jpg); background-repeat: repeat;
   > font-family: Arial; text-align: center; }
   > #container{
   >  border: 0px solid #A9A9A9; text-align: center; width: 450px; margin-
   > top: 308px; margin-right: 40px; margin-left: 0px; background-color: transparent;
   > text-align: left; } #header{ padding: 100px 0px 0px 0px; float: left; clear:
   > both; width: 1024px; background: url(/images/bloghead.png); color: #3c3d40;
   > height: 768px; } #content{ float: right; padding: 0px; color: #000000; width:
   > 260px; font-size: 11px; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 10px; }
   > #contentright{
   >  margin: 15px; float: right; width: 130px; font-size: 11px; 
   > letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 10px; color: #5B5B5B; }
   > <strike>#footer{
   >  display: none; width: 1024px; background: url(/images/blogfooter.
   > png); color: #3c3d40; height: 300px; padding: 0px;</strike> }
 * What I’m trying to say is the url **/images/greyback2.jpg** is suppose to be 
   the background and the url **/images/bloghead.png** is suppose to be the header.
   Now, when I actually put the background where the background is suppose to be
   and the header suppose to be, the **#content** ends up under the “header” instead
   of on top of it. I hope I didn’t confuse anyone.

 * The first step in fixing display problems is to validate and fix your code. Your
   code does have errors (the twitter ones probably aren’t a problem):
 * [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://nadiyah.net/blog/](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://nadiyah.net/blog/)
 * Your [css also has an error](http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fnadiyah.net%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fthemes%2Fv4ny14-10%2Fstyle.css),**
   b** is missing closing brace, here’s what it should be:
 *     ```
       b {
       color: #E5460E;
       text-transform: uppercase;
       font-family: georgia;
       font-size: 9px;
       font-weight: bold;
       line-height: 10px;
       letter-spacing: -1px;
       }
       ```

 * The bracket was already there to began with, LOL. I did click the validator link
   and there was a list of false coding throughout the entire page. All my brackets
   and codes are where they’re suppose to be. My problem is covering my entire page
   with my background image. Instead of having my background image as a background
   image, I have my header as my background image, because it is off-centered if
   it was the other way around.
 * Is there a way of having 2 backgrounds?
