That's good that you got it! Yea, looking at your code, I think I recall the Code Challenge saying the background image was in the 'img' folder.

So assuming relative directory location, I think it would be something like this:

body {
    background: url(img/bgimage.png);
}

yea it was a pain in the neck, I tend to mess up directory location, so now thats the first thing I check.
