Background means the whole thing will be covered. I don't know
how the background can shrink to 1/4 of the page.
But there's a workaround for this.
Set the CSS file to make the background fixed, that is, the
background won't move while scrolling up and down.
The codes for the CSS should look like this:
body {
background-image: url("link to background"); /*-- upload your
picture to some server, then replace "link to background" with the
link of the background--*/
background-repeat: no-repeat; /*-- this will prevent the background
from repeating itself--*/
background-attachment: fixed; /*-- set the background to fix, so
that when you scroll, the background won't scroll as well--*/
}
To make your entries start after your background... not too
sure...
