I checked it locally and the CSS seems fine. The ImgBB URL you're using is only serving a 640×360 version of the image. Try uploading the original image directly to your Neocities "/img" folder and linking that instead (e.g. "background-image:url(/img/dark-forest.jpg);") — the blur should disappear.
any idea why it is giving that dimension versus the normal ones? i downloaded and uploaded the image from my pc, it looks fine as my desktop and i got the image like i do everything else... maybe i missed something somewhere xD if you don't know, totally fine, just curious
Glad it worked! 😄
As for why ImgBB was giving you a 640×360 version, I'm not actually sure. My guess is that the URL you copied was pointing to a resized/optimized variant rather than the original upload, but I couldn't say exactly how that happened. Sometimes image hosts generate multiple sizes and it's easy to grab one of those by accident.
yes, that's what i was beating myself up over last night, but i checked multiple times, even uploaded it a separate time and it was never the thumbnail version so WHO KNOWS! ty again!
if anyone knows how to maintain the integrity of my new background img via css, please let me know, as it is not supposed to be this blurry ;-;
