Im trying to add a background image in my page but it wont work...

ive created my own CSS Style that has the specifications i need (no repeating,
fixed image, centrered at the bottom etc...).
Im doing Modify> Page properties > Background Image. then im selecting the
image file (which is a .Jpg). The picture i want appears but it is not at the
bottom of the page.
More importantly when i preview the page the background is blank.

Any ideas on what im doing wrong?

Sorry, my friend, it's not possible to keep the background at the bottom
with CSS. You could try some workarounds/hacks, but IMO it's not worth the
trouble.

Are you crazy? It -is- possible to have CSS make a background not repeat,
fixed, and centrered at the bottom. You'll probably have to do this from your
CSS file in code though. And NN4 doesn't support background-position, but thats
no big loss.

body {
background-image: url(/path/to/image.gif);
background-attachment:fixed;
background-position:bottom center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
}
