How do I add a backround?

Hi all.
I have a webcomic (well no kidding..) and I know how to update and all that, but I read the instructions for keentaging, and I'm still like... "Hu?" on the how-to of getting a Background up for the site. I can't figure out how to upload it. Does anyone have a code or a special name I have to give the template file to upload it? Help would really be appriciated.

The background as in the HTML background? Just use HTML code for anything that isn't a keentag thing.

<body style="background:url(/images/background.jpg);">

also if you want it to be a colour you can do <body bgcolor="#XXXXXX"> where the X's are the code for the colour. You can also use the name for simple colours (i.e. <body bgcolor="black">

you can also use <body background="image.jpg"> where image is the URL of the picture.

Thanks, guys! But...Um, which sub-folder in workspace do I drop the code into? and how? then do I run a manual update?

Basicly, in the indextemplate.html file (And dailytemplate.html, if you want your archives to have the same background) look for the line of code that says:

Code: Select all

<div class ="main">

You can add in the background code that the others discribed under this line. Then run a manual update. The image itself should be in your 'images' folder, and the URL for the image in the tag should be something like "/images/background.gif" (Or whatever the filename of your background image is.) After it's updated, it should be there.

The regular update should do it.
