How to add a scallable background image to your site?

Published by admin on 6 Oct ’10

If you want to add an image that resizes according to the monitor or the browser size just follow the steps:

First put the image exactly after the opening <body> tag:

<body>

<img src=”images/bg.jpg” class=”bg” />

Then go to the CSS and add this:

}
