I haven't had a chance to read all the posts here. I was wondering if you can use an image on your computer as a background image and if so, what would the "url" be? I'm getting pretty tired of my store's appearance as well, and Zazzle has a lot to be desired when it comes to the "themes" they offer. Those need to be updated with quite a few more new ones!!

Hi all, am new to this and am trying to get my header and background to line up with my products just like SugarVsSpice but whenever I try, my background stays fine but the products table is either too wide or covers up my background? Please take a loo kat my store and then the one above and *hopefully* someone will know what I am trying, bery badly, to say! *lol*

Yes, I'm fairly sure that you can. You have to host the image somewhere. So, you could go to photo bucket or picasa and make an account, then upload your image. Then, you right click on the image and save the image location (which is the url for the image). Then, you just plug that into the code that sugar vs. spice provided. You may need to resize your image, so after you type in the img url, put the size. eg. <img src="http://www.yourimageurl.jpg" width="1000 (or whatever the size is)" /> The height will be adjusted accordingly, so you don't have to write that in. To find out a good size for your image, just go to a website that has what you want, right click on the background image and get the info for it. It will tell you what size their image is and that will give you a good idea of what size you will want for your image. I hope this helps.

To get a page background you want something like this in your CSS: body.page_home #mainShell #group_2 {background-image:url('http://www.yourimageurl.jpg'); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:80% 0%;} You'll probably want to change the background-position tp suit your needs. Check w3schools.com or another good css site for a reference to the background-image attribute. - Mike.

Thanks a bunch! Zazzle Newbie (you really chose that as a user name?), the product pages are under the control of zazzle. They don't pick up your advanced customization choices (CSS, XHTML), but they'll grab your basic color schemes and header.

I'd like them to at least try to maintain full functionality (in my case, I've been trying to get them to fix the pagelink XHTML tag, so I could add some of the the latest products to my custom menu).

Was trying to see what you were referring to with regards to your header, but I'm not seeing it on here at all.
Perhaps you could post what code you are trying to use.

A few days ago that was happening on one of my stores. I didn't do anything and it got sorted out and is fine now. It probably has to do with the current upgrades. There is thread in another forum where others were experiencing this, too.

Thank you so much for this help SugarVsSpice!!! It worked perfectly for me... my HTML skills are pretty old school and my CSS knowledge is sketchy, so this was exactly what I needed! Here's my updated shop: http://www.zazzle.com/gothzotiqueI'm going to do the same for my others shops soon... THANKS AGAIN!!

She's not using the category folders at all. She disables them on the edit content page. She made a graphic for each category, and hosted it somewhere on the web. She then wrote some basic html code that included linking those images to her categories. Possibly used a table. I didn't look. The html code goes in the description field on the basic settings page where you put your welcome message.

Thank you Artsy Fartsy Maz. Finally I set up my store and already made a couple sales. Feels good. Just one more question: how to set up product sales page like sugar vs spice http://www.zazzle.com/green_flame_voodoo_speckcase-176400178763388139 I mean add background and header. As mine is completely blank and doesn't have header image http://www.zazzle.com/jiu_jitsu_iphone_4_cases-179075672656799072

Hmm... looks like if you click this the link on the forum it also opens in random zazzle selling page. But if you go through her store http://www.zazzle.com/sugarvsspice/gifts?cg=196152247160631902and click on the product it opens in the same background page as store. Although doesn't work the same on my store.
