Try
```
.home .entry-content {

background-image: url(http://www.truenorthconsulting.eu/?attachment_id=131);

}
```
to get to show on just the home page

Hi, I tried that but the image dissapeared with the .home. tg.

Not sure how to do the <div> tag chainkiller?

Thanks for the help guys 🙂

You need to edit your page and add <div id=’whatever’> before everything on your editor then add </div> after it.

then go to editor and add to your style.css
```
#name you used for the id in this case whatever{

background-image: url(link to image);

}
```

A more efficient method is to target pages or posts by their unique ID or class:

Adding an additional <div> to the page could cause other problems.

Thanks Kenneth, been looking at that and have added this:
```
.home #content {

background-image: url(http://www.truenorthconsulting.eu/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Boat-5.jpg);

background-size:648px 432px;

background-repeat:no-repeat;

}
```
This has got it behind, but now there is a white square where the content is covering this? any ideas? Thanks though, we’re getting there 🙂
