Help for background

Hi to all,
I have a problem with my Cumulus site: I can't put a background image. I've changed the standard image of Cumulus (the one with the seagull) with another of my own in the images folder on my pc, then I've uploded the same image in the folder of my web space. However, the background is always white! I tried more and more time, with different pics, but it seems not working; besides, it doesn't work with the seagull image too. I also tried to modify the weatherstyle.css paper putting the url where I uploaded the pic of mine, not done.
Is there anyone who can help me?
This is my page:
http://meteomasone.altervista.org/meteo/
Thanks so much!
P.S.
It didn't even upload the moon-phase picture

You don't appear to have an images folder (which is where the background image goes), so you also have no graphs. You don't appear to have a dbimages folder or its contents, so the static gauges aren't working. You've put this on your index page:
<body background="C:\Cumulus\webfiles\images\picture.jpg">
That can't work as it's a file on your PC. The link to the background image is in the CSS file, weatherstyle.css. You've put:
background-image: url(
http://tinypic.com/r/vq6wqw/6);
But that doesn't seem to be a link to a valid image.
Have you followed the instructions in the help and/or the wiki for setting up a web site? See

Really, I have an images folder and dbimages folder on my web-space and I've uploaded the cumulus files and picture.jpg using Mozilla
Now I have changed this and put: url(picture/images) in the weartherstyle.css
I can't understand where I'm wrong

http://meteomasone.altervista.org/meteo ... icture.jpg gives a 404 not found.
Your weatherstyle.css file at
http://meteomasone.altervista.org/meteo ... rstyle.css still has
background-image: url(
http://tinypic.com/r/vq6wqw/6);

Now your weatherstyle.css file has updated, but it has
background-image: url(picture/images);
That isn't a valid link to an image file. It needs to be
background-image: url(images/picture.jpg);
But that link still gives 404

ok, now it's: url(images/picture.jpg);
That's because I have two folders in my web-space: meteo and images. In the folders meteo are uploaded the templates files: do the folder images needed to be uploaded in the meteo's folders?
