Uploading my first webpage, img not showing.

Need a bit of help!

Bought a domain from Namecheap and hosting from Dreamhost, used cyberduck to FTP my files.

My background img is not showing up, I changed it to background-color just to test it and it worked. I believe this to be a file link issue, but I have tried every link possible to that background image.

Here's my CSS:

background-image: url(/home/katloc3/harmonyhollows.com/img/background1.jpg);

any suggestions?

hey Ryan Lockhart ,

just had a quick look at your site and seems like your path to the image is wrong. Try this instead:

background: url("/img/background1.jpg");

hope that helps ;)
