How do I make an image be in the top left hand corner but so that it is over my layout instead of part of it. When you scroll down I need it to be as if it is part of the layout ( so that when you scroll down it does not stay there, when everything else has moved)

Thanks for the help!

These statements kind of contradict each other?

You can use position:absolute; This will remove it from the "flow" but it will still scroll with the page. Keep in mind this will place the image literally "over" your content.

Yeah absolute positioning can help you in that.

It sounds like your such a beginner that you might not even know what these guys are talking about. It's ok I've been there.
They mean using CSS. Look up CSS backround properties.
If your still stuck let me know.
