When I implemented the background in CSS, it covered the whole page but the length wasn't big enough to cover the content I wanted to write in it. I researched and found a background repeat-y, which I thought would copy the background again, making the page longer. When I code background-repeat: y; } into CSS, it gives me the length I wanted, but splits the background so it doesn't cover the whole page. Most of it is white. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="aboutme.css">
<title>It's all about me!</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<header>
<div class="grow">
<ul>
  <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="aboutme.html">About me</a></li>
  <li><a href="like.html">What I love</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</header>
<h1>About Me</h1>

Try background-size:cover; to your body

Yeah background-size:cover; is a enough option. But may be it doesn't view your image completely as expected. Best option to accomplish your task is that the image should re-size proportional to your body size and use background-size: (width)px (height)px; in your body styling. But this is only applicable to fixed size body. Unless it won't be pretty. :-)

Try background-repeat: repeat; and min-height: 1080px; to body in css and change 1080px to as required to you.
