 * I’m having an issue with my background and not totally sure how to fix this. 
   Somewhat new to using WP and this is my first blog.

 * Want to know what I need to do so I don’t have my background missing near the
   top.

 * You have your background css code set to repeat-x left bottom, so it lines up
   with the bottom of the browser. It is only having a problem on your post page
   because your post page is longer than your current index page. The longer a page
   gets, the more space you will see up top. For resolutions that are larger, there
   is going to be even more space at the top. The only way to fix it and keep the
   image you have is to make the background bigger (which I would NOT recommend 
   because it already takes far too much time to load on high speed internet). You
   could set the background color to white, but your image will still cut off up
   top.

 * Thanks for the help. Solves another problem too, I like the idea of making it
   quicker to load.
    Thanks for your help!
