Welcome to Gaia! ::

hello. So I've come to ask, how on earth do you stop when you put a picture as a your background but repeats itself like tiles. Anyone know how to stop repeating itself like tiles?
You use no-repeat. Usually, you'll position the image, too -- top center or bottom left or whatever. The CSS code looks like this:

html, body { background: #fefefe url('THE_IMAGE_URL_GOES_HERE') center center fixed no-repeat; :

The fixed command, by the way, keeps the image stationary in the viewing window, even when the page content scrolls up or down. And the first part, #fefefe, is a color hex code -- it controls the color the area around the background image.

Yea, when i did it, the "about me box" section had sharp edges rather than curve edges, and the music/media can't be hidden

... Effing typo. Change that colon at the end to a close-bracket, like this: }
