Something's not right when I try to modify what's there now, which is:

body {font-size:14px; font-family:Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; color:#282828; background:#f4f3f3 url(../images/body_bg.jpg) left top repeat-x} Melissa Brookstone

background:#f4f3f3 url(../images/body_bg.jpg) left top repeat-x

Above is your code.
Try separating out the background properties like this to see if it makes any difference
background-color:#f4f3f3; background-image: url('../images/body_bg.jpg'); background-position: left top; background-repeat: repeat-x;

remembering to make sure you keep all those colons and semi-colons in place. http://www.venicefromtheinside.com
