Prevent Your Background From Scrolling

One totally avoidable distraction that we may find on blogs is that of a scrolling background. You know the one. When you scroll down to read the post the entire background with all of it’s designs begins to quickly scroll with it. Nothing can take you eye away from the text quicker than that. But… it is easy to avoid.

To prevent your background from scrolling up with you blog posts simply alter/add some simple code to your template. Here’s how:

1. Log into Blogger
2. From your Dashboard, click “Layout”
3. Click “Edit Html”
4. Scroll down until you find your background’s code. It will look similar to this:

body {background:url("http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r278/splitdecisionz/darrell%20veencamp/b44921ab.png")repeat;margin:0;color:#ffffff;font:x-small Georgia Serif;font-size/* */:/**/small;font-size: /**/small;text-align: center;background-color:#bcd7f5;}

5. Add the following code after the code in blue (above) so that it now looks like this:

body {background:url("http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r278/splitdecisionz/darrell%20veencamp/b44921ab.png")repeat;background-attachment: fixed;margin:0;color:#ffffff;font:x-small Georgia Serif;font-size/* */:/**/small;font-size: /**/small;text-align: center;background-color:#bcd7f5;}

6. Save!

You can make these same changes on WordPress or other platforms just by looking for the similar lines of code.
