    Hello,
    I'm trying to change the background of http://www.mikemcsharry.co.uk to blue.
    I have uploaded a blue jpeg to bg-top.jpg in the images library, but it doesn't seem to be noticed. I have done exactly the same on http://www.systemed.co.uk and it works okay.

    Is there anything else I need to do? I've checked on various browsers on different machines and it has had no effect.

    Look for following code in style.css file of mikemcsharry.co.uk website

    body {
    	background: #F4F4F4 url(images/bg.png) repeat-x;
    	color: #333333;
    	font-size: 12px;
    	font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
    	margin: 0 auto 0;
    	padding: 0;
    	line-height: 20px;
    	}

    Change this to...

    body {
    	background: #0166ff;
    	color: #333333;
    	font-size: 12px;
    	font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
    	margin: 0 auto 0;
    	padding: 0;
    	line-height: 20px;
    	}

    Since it is simple blue color, you can use color code directly as against blue image.

    Hello Davinder,
    Thank you for your help there.
    I needed to explain my need better, it was sorting out the gaps behind the 'frames' on the page. By following your example I changed f4f4f4 to 0166ff in other places. It was the #inner that I was looking for.
    Thank you very much 🙂

    Mike
