 * Hey guys,
 * I am having a hell of a time getting my custom template to display correctly.
   Currently the background from the main wrapper seems to stick around the middle
   of my third post:

 * Aside from cnaceling out just about everything one at a time and adding auto 
   heights to just about everything, I have played with the “bottom-margin” in the
   CSS extending it upwards of 300% to fit the content, but I wanted to see if someone
   could help me with a more flexible solution. I am assuming that the Background
   is holding to the content prior to importanting the dynamic element from the 
   database. Just an FYI, I am one week old in PHP and wordpress, so my coding isn’t
   the quite up there yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    Orion

 * I can not access aour site, but in your coode i do nat see any background-image
   in your css.
 * Try this in the wrapper-css
    background-image:url(background.jpg); background-
   repeat:repeat-y;

 * Hey CMS,
 * Thanks for the reply.
 * I had the background set to display black. I tried entering in a black 1×1 image,
   and it only filled the page down to the same spot as the previous background 
   color.
 * I also checked my site and it was up:

 * Anyhow, I am stumped on this background deal. Your suggestion was greatly appreciated.
   Any other info or leads would be great!

 * Hey team,
 * I re-read my post, good lord I made some typos… I will excuse it with working
   for too long on one thing.
 * It took me maybe two minutes to resolve the issue, for I asked Travis at the 
   institution I go to, Travis YOUR THE MAN!
 * Solution:
    set the background color to black, instead of doing it in the wrapper,
   so:
 * body {
    background-color: #000000; }
 * Thanks guys, I hope this will help somebody in the future.
 * Also for reference I took screen shots of the before and after.
