how can I get an image post to repeat on tumblr?

Question

I have a theme that repeats each post across the screen but I don't like the theme layout... just that aspect of it. Could anyone tell me what the code is so I could extract it and apply it to a different theme? this is my tumblr: celluvoid.tumblr.com thanks!

If I understand your question, you like that the image repeats to the right. This is caused on the page you provided by setting the background-image on the image container to the image itself and then, in this case not specifying the repeat CSS option.

To get this to work on your new theme you would need to do the same thing but make sure the container is wide enough that you can see it repeat. Set the background to something like the following where the url(path) is the post image:

background: #000 url(http://celluvoid.tumblr.com/photo/1280/6430126690/1/tumblr_lmn9e8nnVn1qkbjik) repeat-x top left;
