Hello,
I would like to create myself a webpage. i'm a graphic designer, but not web-designer, so i have no idea how to start.. i would like my background to be similar to that in whatboyswant.com (it's an adult site..) i like the diagonal lines and the the shadow at the borders of the white page. when i right click to save the background, i get a thin line... how do i get it right?

thanks!
tom

the background will be repeated, not just one large picture, if u repeat a simple background it loads quicker

Ok here is an example for you.

body {
text-align: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font:62.5% Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
color:#333333;
background: url("http://www.designerstalk.com/forums/images/bg-1.jpg");
}

Use this as your css in the body section not forgetting to change the background url to your image url. I have attached the image I use for my background on one of my many sites. All you have to do then is just change the image to suit.



Enjoy.
Hope this helps. Let me know if not. :-)

What that just a sly ad for the adult site?

Time to read up a bit. don't expect people to give you the code for your site (which some already kindly did)

google 'html dog' and learn up on a bit of (x)html and css

easy peasy, you wont be able to make a site unles your going down the dreamweaver route?


another thought is to hire a web guy to do this for you???
