 * Hi everyone,
 * I’m trying to resize this background image that my text sits in front of:
    [http://www.drivewaydealsbookstore.com](http://www.drivewaydealsbookstore.com)
 * The code is:
 *     ```
       .article-corps {
       	position:relative;
       	background:url(images/article_sprite.png) repeat-y;
       	background-position:-683px 0;
       	margin-left:30px;
       	padding:13px 43px 0 50px;
       	line-height:20px;
       	overflow:hidden;
       }
       ```
   
 * I tried adding a code like “width: 130%” but nothing works. Please help, I’ve
   already spent 5 hours on this and am considering using a new template. I purposely
   changed the text width and want the background image to match.
