Part of the way there.

So, new template, again thanks to Blogger Templates. Unfortunately, as you'll see if you scroll down, it's not quite perfect. I've managed to mess around with everything else to my satisfaction - does anyone out there know how to get the background to extend all the way down? I took a look in the HTML, but it's nowhere my meagre knowledge would suggest it should be.

I spent a frustratingly long time looking for something (anything) better - is there a good site with free templates I don't know of? Eventually if I can spare the time and figure it all out I might take a page from Aaron's book and just make my own title image. We'll see.

Also, when you click on an individual post to see comments, the user's name is not displayed. I'll have to figure out how to change that.

Instead of making the image scroll all the way down, you might want to look into having the image not scroll at all. The code like this (you'll need to add brackets):

< body background="filename.jpg" bgproperties="fixed" >

Or in a style sheet:
BODY {background-attachment: fixed;}

-G

Weird. It indented half my last comment. Blogger doesn't like you.
