 * Doesn’t look like the background is moving, it’s just too big. When the home 
   page and the blog are loaded, there is enough content to stretch the page over
   the whole background image. On the pages with smaller ammounts of content, it
   gets cut-off.

 * Sorry, should have provided a suggestion too. You could try adding a “height”
   attribute to mainContainer, that would make the div big enough to cover the whole
   image, but that would leave a heap of empty space at the bottom of those pages
   lighter on content, and could cause over-flow problems.
 * I would probably crop the image so it was just the tree and the ground, then 
   create a div to hold it, and use it as a background, which gets positioned “bottom”,
   as per here:
    [http://w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp](http://w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp)(
   see the section called “Background Image – Set position and no-repeat”)
 * Then position that dive to sit at the bottom of mainContainer, but still under
   the main content.
 * Make sense?

 * Kevin,
    I think you might be editing this while I’m looking at it. Things keep
   changing…..
 * Try using this in stlye.css (line 150):
 * #mainContainer {
    background: #FFFFFF url(images/bg_bg.jpg) bottom left no-repeat;
   width:100% }
 * and comment-out the #mainContainer reference in style_trans2.css (line 32).

 * Looks white to me right now.
 * Incidentally, Firebug, which is an add-on for Firefox would be very helpful here
   indeed. It would tell you where in the .css the background colour of ededed was
   coming from.

 * By the way, I like what you’ve done with the body background colour to make the
   bottom of the page look like “earth”.
 * Nice work.
 * -edit: this is almost delayed-chat. Yeah, it’s all looking good on my end.
