Dear All,
I am running into issues integrating an image with content and automatically integrated background colors.
Currently my style sheet has the following definition:
body {
background:#657491 url("http://www.baylor.edu/content/imglib/144243.gif") no-repeat top;
margin: 150px 10px 10px 10px;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #657491;
font-size: 11px;
}
When I integrate my background image with the existing content everything plays nicely until I reach the end of the image, where I transition to color #657491, which works really well for the sides. I wanted some of the image to be transparent behind the content so I faded the background image itself, which works really well aesthetically.
The problem I have is, when the content exceeds the image I need another color to grow dynamically or else everything looks off.
Can anyone help me get this right? Here is my HTML:

<td width="450" valign="top" ><h2>Dear BIC Alumni,</h2>
<p>Summer greetings from the Baylor Interdisciplinary Core Office!* We are excited to announce a few changes and updates to the program in the last year: Poverty Simulation is now a part of the Examined Life curriculum.* BIC students are inserted into simulated poverty overseen by Mission Waco. Students are encouraged to reflect upon the way their perspective on poverty changes after the activity.* Drs. Sam Perry and Candi Cann will be joining our faculty in the fall.* Sam Perry is a BIC graduate who earned his Ph.D. from _____________ in ____________ and Candi Cann is traveling to Waco, TX from Kaneohe, HI after receiving her Ph.D. in Religion from Harvard Graduate School. </p>
<p>This last year BIC hosted an alumni Homecoming event and we are pleased to announce plans to continue this great tradition! This year, BIC graduates Abby and John Garland will look back at how the BIC helped shape their futures. We will be tailgating the Homecoming game and want to see you all there! </p>
<p>We are putting together an alumni newsletter to update you on the program and provide details about the Homecoming festivities. We’d like to include alumni updates and milestones in the newsletter. If you have an update or testimonial to share about your Baylor Odyssey, please reply to this email by July 27th (less than 50 words if possible). Pictures are welcome!</p></td>

File can be found here (although it doesn't seem to integrate the style doc well when I send it in this fashion).
