Thanks. I like the look of the portable gimp option.

Server handling sounds to complicated. Plus not sure my hosts would like that….

Cheers.

Any suggestions?!

lol. My bad: http://www.robintino.co.uk.

I was bit tired last night!

Thanx

This is were I got stuck tbh. I don’t have one background image to repeat. I understood the theory that you both mentioned.

HOWEVER, from my understanding there is not 1 background image like you said but several… I didnt know how to use just one while maintaining the same look of my page….
