In further news, I made my layout work nicely with firefox, as best I can. I couldn't get the indent at the top of the page, but I managed to get it working, otherwise.

And finally, I fixed something that has been bothering me for EVER. My backgrounds always fit to 1024 by 768 because that is a common resolution, I have found, with most users. Although I think it is increasing now. My resolution is like 1152 by something else. All my backgrounds tended to sit funny on my resolution as compared to the common one, but I want other people to like my layout, so I created it for them. I wanted to try to figure out how to use CSS to swap between the different resolutions, so I could call a different image and align everything differently for a larger res, but then I couldn't figure it out quick enough, so instead, I just aligned the picture to the centre instead of the right or left and it looks like it is working perfectly. Maybe that was the issue.

See the CSS margin alignment, it is defined in pixels. If the pixels were defined from the left side of the screen, like I initially assumed, then I would not have had a problem. However, it appeared that the margin defined everything from the centre of the screen, which is why nothing was working how I thought it should. So the CSS overrides, now work for all resolutions. That might be a little preemptory to be saying, so I am going to check with smaller and larger res, but I think I fixed the problem. So now? I get to view my own background as it should be without having to move shit around to make it look right for me or screwing up the view for everyone else.

So people need to comment on this BG. DO IT! I love it. Tell me what you think.
