Im not very good with HTML/PHP/etc, but my current (wordpress based) website looks a little bland with so few pictures, so I wanted to put edited screenshots from my games on the sides. I saw on http://www.escapistmagazine.com/ that they had pretty much what I wanted to do. If the sidebars dont scroll, just show a picture. How do you do that?

If your on about the adverts on the left/right of the main page that sort of thing is easy to code in using css an image/s and a small amount of html.
 
Yes, thats it. I could probably find a tutorial on line if theres some official name for it or something...
 
Is there an option to have it not scroll? Mine scroll :( And how do you know how big the viewers monitor is?
 
IIRC, with CSS :



Code:
background-image:url("bgimage.jpg") ;

background-repeat : no-repeat; 

background-attachment:fixed ;

That way the image doesn't scroll and doesn't repeat.


You could use some DIVs, a main DIV that takes 100% of the screen size, then one aligned left and the other aligned right with the background you want.


Don't hate me if it doesn't work, my CSS is really rusty…

@OP Kodeln gave you all that's basically necessary. If you want to get further into this have a look at selfhtml.org and use its search engine considering images/backgrounds or websearch for CSS guides/tutorials. All the info's out there, you just need to have a look around.
