# Background Image in Default Template

 * Hey everyone! I started making a few minor changes to the default theme (though
   it’s basically the same thing.) Everything looks great on my mac in Safari but
   when I use my dad’s laptop, I seem to see a bit of the background image (kubrickbg.
   jpg) in the margin before my personalheader.jpg appears. It shouldn’t do that
   and I’m going crazy trying to find how to fix it…
 * Can anyone help me!? My page is at [http://blog.mattinteractive.com](http://blog.mattinteractive.com)
 * THANKS!

 * I think I’m seeing what you’re seeing when I’m using IE. Perhaps a CSS issue…?

 * Sure, here’s a screenshot: [http://blog.mattinteractive.com/screen.png](http://blog.mattinteractive.com/screen.png)
 * I’m thinking its the CSS too but have no idea what’s causing it. Ahhhhhhhhh!

 * I’m sorry, unfortunately I’m not a CSS expert. Could you possibly make your header
   image taller to compensate for that space, or does the space stay on top regardless
   of the size of your image?

 * It’s some css in both your header.php and in your style.css called “headerimg”
   or something similar to that.
 * There’s also more css regarding the custom header image.
 * You want to comment out all of that, or remove it if you have a backup.
 * That will take all of your pain away…
