Pardon? You want to use a whole screenshot as a background? That is such a bad idea on many, many, levels.
Really? What should I do?
To do the job properly, the design/screenshot now needs to be broken down and translated into a proper theme.
Okay thankyou. I think you mean I must break up the jpeg into header, footer, etc. and redesign it with css?? I think I can do this, but it’s going to be hard!

Exactly. And you’ll need to work within the WordPress theme structure so that the various template files will be called correctly. If you’re not familiar with theme development, the following link should help you to get started.

It very much depends upon the complexity of your design. If it’s fairly standard in terms of it’s overall structure – header area, footer, sidebars and a content area – you might find it easier to start with a free, pre-written, theme and then incorporate your graphics into that theme.
Okay thanks! I appreciate your help!
