I forgot to mention that I am using PageBreeze for editting

[krypticenigma]

put the BODY css that is in your html currently inside of your actual CSS file. it might be overwritten depending on the placements of your includes/links. Otherwise as long as all the css is correct it should be working. But there is no reason to put stuff in both unless you are using a universal css file. If you are doing that make sure your css in the html is after you link the css page. Other problems might include declarations but I do not do much with objects.

The CSS for your body should look like this:

body {
font-family:verdana, arial, sans-serif;
font-size:.74em;
margin:0;
padding:0;
background-image: url('moneyback.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat;
}

If you take that CSS and save it as a separate file with the extension ".css", then link to it in each of your pages, it is much more efficient because you only have to edit the external style sheet once, instead of on every page.
To do that, place the following code after the tag and before the closing tag :

("sheet1.css" will be the name of your style sheet. If it's in a folder, for example a folder labeled "css", it would be like this: css/sheet1.css)
In your external style sheet, you do not need to include the opening and closing tags for the stylesheet.

There are different ways you can make a background repeat.
I see in the body {} secion that you've already set the background to repeat. If you want it to just repeat horizontally, try repeat-x. If you want it to repeat vertically only, try repeat-y.
