[[file:BackgroundExample.jpg|center|675px|thumb|This tutorial shall use the following terms to describe the various areas of the page. The width of the dark grey bit is the '''"page width"'''. The area where you see the lower [[Robot Yeti|Yeti]]'s left hand is the '''"left gutter"'''. The area where you see the upper Yeti's right hand is the '''"right gutter"'''. The blue line between the dark and light grety areas is the '''"margin"''', further defined as "left margin" or "right margin", as appropriate. The dark blue stripe at the top with the wikia logo is the '''"wikia header"'''. The distance from the top of the wikia header to the bottom of the dark grey bit is the '''"background image height"'''.
