    Perry,

    In styles.css, look for #inner. The white background behind the content on the page is set there.

    Hi Perry and Ramsey, I found this blog http://wpsites.net/web-design/styling-the-background-of-your-theme/,
    you can create an bg-image and solve it.
    Just ad the code in the function file:

    /** Add support for custom background */
    add_theme_support( 'custom-background' );

    This will add the background image functionality.

    Good luck,
    Johanna
