I think that it’s sort of ironic that Apple, known for making computers that “just work” and are rather forgiving with it comes to user error, would make a Web browser that is very particular and less forgiving when it comes to displaying XHTML and CSS Web sites.

As it turns out, in order to display an image in the body tag of a Web site using CSS, you must first make sure you order your rules accordingly. That order is as follows:

1. Color (#000000, for example)
2. URL of image
3. Whether or not it repeats (no-repeat, repeat-x or repeat-y)
4. It’s position along the x-axis (left, center or right)
5. It’s position on the y-axis (top or bottom)

An example of this would look something like this:

body {
background: #000000 url(../images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center top;
}

I am currently seeking full-time employment! If you like working with a passionate, awesome, and “very interested in learning more about anything and everything Web design and development” person, then feel free to contact me (look for my resume on my Web site).

I am looking for a fast-paced, exciting company for which to work; a company where I can utilize my skills to my maximum potential and continue to learn and grow to become an ever-growing asset to it and its clients. So don’t wait, give me a call (or shoot me an email), today!

Did that seem a little cheesy? Good. I like it. Cut and print!
