How do I use a photo as background to my text

I want to use a picture as background to my cache's description

Your photo must be uploaded to 'somewhere' on the internet. Many people just add them to the cache page, and then set them as the background.

Once you have your image uploaded, enter it's URL into the 'Background Image URL' box on the 'Edit Listing' page.

Not sure what you're asking.

 

If you just want the picture as the background to the cache page, then there's a block on the cache submission page that will make that happen. That will give you a result like this: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=83a74c6d-12d1-4fc0-bded-cfb365dd050f

 

If you want the cache description itself to appear as text overlaid on an image, you'll have to use image editing software to overlay the text on the image itself, then use HTML coding to insert the image onto the cache page.

 

Example:

<img src="http://website.com/imageurl.jpg">

 

That will give you a result like this; http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=381aec68-2164-479f-bcc9-47e1d2d98ef3

 

Keep in mind, though, if you go with the second option (text overlay on an image), many people will not be able to see the cache description if they are viewing the cache description on a GPSr, such as a Garmin Oregon.
