 * Hello,
 * I paid a designer to design me a web page. It’s in jpeg form. Can I use it as
   the background for my wordpress site? If so, how?
 * Thank you for your time.

 * Pardon? You want to use a whole screenshot as a background? That is such a bad
   idea on many, many, levels.

 * 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.
