@Inger Yes I tried to use the same code as the cjudd site, and it comes up with a white background as well.

@ Eric Yeah I have firebug but it doesn't seem to work. I've been writing javascript lately and i'm supposed to be using it to debug everything but I don't even know how to use it because it doesn't work on my PC's.

Guys, speaking about framework, what exactly does "bootstrap" the program do? I just read a little on google + but framework is Not, what I need is it?

Did you enable the plugin?

Yeah, I went through and enabled them one by one, but all it seems to show is xhtml..
When I try to view javascript on a page it converts it to xhtml as well..

Not even the first clue about bootstrap here...

Matt, I started thinking and that lead to altering the code that I had put up for you to see. So I have a different suggestion:
http://inger.cybeer.no/stuff/index2.html
Mainly, I have divided your background image into two, and the lower part (blue) has been stretched and put sideways. I called it bodybg.jpg and have made it the body background. Of course you can use a different image, but as it is now, it looks like water.
The upper part of the original image is now the background in the wrapper div (not the html any more), and I have changed the code a bit so that it expands to full width but not height.
The blue part will expand with whatever contents you put on the pages. You can well add a semi-transparent sheet on top of that, for the text.
The WebsiteWIP2.jpg is 506px in height, so any other contents should probably start below that, so that you can see the image. Only the navigation could be placed on top of it.
If I were you, and if I had the original image file for the WebsiteWIP, with layers and all, I would also lower the header text about 10px or so.

Hey now that looks really good Inger Can you send me the images of the bodybg please? I would rather go this route than anything.
On a different note, how can I use a transparent sheet over the .jpg images to post the news?
I actually deleted my old website I was working on for this project so I need to install the web-font kit too, which I will do in a little bit here once I find out what font they want.

Here it is.
You could create a div, call it textbg or so, a little less wide that the page perhaps, say something between 80 - 90%, ofr perhaps just a narrow column if you want. Give this div a translucent background with properties like

If you change the opacity, remember to change it in the alpha filter too.

Cool Inger thank you! Can I also have the website backgroundwip2 image? I need it to start off the site

Matt, did you try to fix your white background issue in your WOW?

Not yet.. I looked through the options in the actual software but couldn't find anything..
Is it somewhere within the wowslider .js ?
