    Hi!
    I just got my blog re-designed and submitted it to the Woo Themes Showcase :)
    But i got a mail saying that i need to fix a css error with the background, the background becomes blank as you scroll down. How do i fix it?

    Have a look: www.letssermo.com

    Also did you like the design? Any idea how i could make it even more cool?

    Thanks!

    PS. I am a newbie :)

    It looks cool, and I think the way the background is now is fine. The background image itself isn't made to repeat anyway, so I wouldn't call it an error. Maybe i'm just not getting the problem?

    One suggestion though. Make the background image not as wide as it is now. Ideally, you should model a site for a 1024x768 resolution, or 800x600 if you want to be extra safe.

    Its real nice dude. I wouldn't be worried about the screen size. It's future proof!

    I went through all the CSS and found no actual background errors, though this one's just dumb:
    background:#F7F7F7 none repeat scroll 0% 50%;

    why scroll? that's default
    why position? if image is none?

    But whatever, it's just bloat-code, not an error. Also lots of !important which is also BS but it's legal.

    A single image came up as a broken image, a mozilla screenshot but I saw one at the bottom of the page so that might not really be broken.

    Possibly the Woo guys thought the background was meant to be fixed, meaning you always saw it even when you scroll, however that's a design decision and not a CSS error (and it wouldnt work in IE6 anyway).

    Nice design.
