Try this...
body {
background-image: url("../img/eight_horns.png");
}
Take a look at this video for more explanation.

7,627 PointsYou're CSS coding is correct. It is probably the path to the image that off a bit. Depending on how you have your file structure set up, you might need to do any of the following:
body {
background-image: url("../img/fileName");
}
body {
background-image: url("/img/fileName");
}

12,479 PointsAlmost at the end of the code you have this peace of code ...
body{
background-image:url("img/logo_x_pattern.png");
}
Try to remove this ;)

17,540 PointsIs your index.html file in the simplu directory? The reason I ask is because your code is looking for the eight_horns.png file in an img directory off of the directory of the index.html file.
Also can you confirm that the extension of the eight_horns file is a png?
