i'm trying to add a backround image (possibly in the bottom left hand corner) as well
put borders around topic text boxes to seperate them

the background of my page is white, and i want the topic text boxes to be white but i want a black border around them
also i want the backround image to stay in place

im very used to HTML and this is hard for me

is this the right style to do that or should i choose another one?

heres my page:
