using CSS templates

[Learninglife]

Hi
I have just started with HTML & CSS...I would highly appreciate if u could help me...
I'm familiar with basic HTML tags...& now I'm trying to use a css template from http://www.freecsstemplates.org but tried but could not get the desired output....like here in altruism template preview.

I want to display the text at the centre with different background than the sides like here is off-white backgroud where text is displayed and with a pattern (in green) displayed at sides...

I want to display the text at the centre with different background than the sides like here is off-white backgroud where text is displayed and with a pattern (in green) displayed at sides...

This will be done using the background:url(images.jpg); property of CSS.

To display the text in the center, use text-align:center.

Could you post a link to your site so that we will visually see what you really want to achieve.

Find this in style.css:

#page
{
width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 28px 50px 0px 50px;
background: #FFFFFF;
}

Change the highlighted with the color you wish.
If you want to use image, use background-image:url('myimage.jpg'); instead.

See if it helps
