I just started messing around with the Boilerplate template. And i'm having trouble getting my background image to appear. 

css:

```
body {
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1.4;
background-image: url (img/bg2.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

```

Some insight would be appreciated i'm pretty much an amateur

Thanks :) 

EDIT:

Full css here:
