Bogger background shows in Firefox but not in IE

Hi guys... I think I have fixed the problem. While searching for the answer there were quite a few people out there having the same issue. So I am going to post my final code with the hope that this will show in the future to help someone else.

My image was uploaded to photobucket. The "direct link" was the code copied and pasted.
I had removed the word $bgcolor and I had the word repeat at the end. Once I removed repeat and put $bgcolor back. Yipee!! it now works on both. If you are reading this because you have the same problem.
Here is what my current code looks like:

body {
background:$bgcolor url(http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss196/KimiBoustany/blogheader3rdtry72dpi.jpg);
margin:0;
color:$textcolor;
font:x-small Georgia Serif;
font-size/* */:/**/small;
font-size: /**/small;
text-align: center;
}

Kimi - I just checked it in Safari and Firefox on my Mac, Firefox and Internet Explorer in Windows. It loads beautifully everywhere.

GO KIMI! very stylish
I like the new background! It's hard to see the gray lettering in the "about me" section though.

If you have a rar. folder that you need to unzip. You can download a free trial of winRAR here. CNet has a very good record of safe downloads. It is a 40 day free trial. I downloaded it a couple of days ago and it worked great. When your 40 days are up, you can uninstall it from your computer and be back to normal. Next... If you come to a texture that is just an image such as the Antique1 texture. Right click and copy it. This will copy the image to your computers clipboard. Open CS or Elements. Hit Ctrl N for a new document. Your computer will remember the copied size and make a new document to fit it. Once your new blank document is opened. Hit Ctrl V, this paste your image into the document. Now save in your texture folder. Another thing; if you watch the video but you are working in Elements and don't have a layer mask button. Do This. Open a new levels adjustment layer. Click ok without making any changes. This now gives you a layer mask to paint on. Click on your mask to m...
