iPad / iPhone Scaling Background Image

Apr
02

While developing a website, I noticed on the iPad and iPhone the background image would scale down behind the page. To prevent this I had to use Webkit to tell the page what size the background image was with the following css:
-webkit-background-size: 1600px 1400px;
I also had to add a meta tag:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
This was to prevent the iDevice from reducing the background by 50%

Twitter Feed!

You know what people say, "Don't feed the birds". Well, we're not...it's lamer than that. We have Twitter. That's okay though! Although if you feed them rice...anyways we're hoping to 'blow up' Twitter with motivation (you), and drive to finish this website. Oh yea. Its @1gamerdistrict NOT @1gamerdistrict - 1, some people decided to start under a 'very-similar' name to us a year after our registration. The problem is they run an illegal World Of Warcraft private server, and that isn't what we are about. Don't mix us up. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
