  Hello wordpress community.

  I’m new to this whole CSS thing and it’s kinda been trial by error. I’ve run into a wall and I need some help! I want to make the banner of my site stretch across the entire screen, so that it effectively divides the screen in half at the top, creating a big black title. But it won’t work.

  site: elaishastokes.com

  code:

  #header {

  background: url(images/Header2.jpg) center;
  width: 100%;
  height: 210px;
  color: #000;
  margin: 0px auto 0px;
  padding: 0px auto 0px;
  text-align: center;
  }

  Any advice would be most appreciated!

  Thanks a bunch.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  For what it’s worth, this forum is in support of users hosted at wordpress.COM, not general support of wordpress hosted elsewhere — which it appears your site is.

  That said — to work on issues like this, I hope you’re avoiding pain by using a CSS debugging tool like Firebug. If not, see here:
