Thread: Need input re: template I've created

I am working on a site which hopefully will be finished in the spring: www.gardenpartycrafts.com

I only have the home, shipping, and contact us pages done at this time. Before continuing, I would appreciate input about the background I have chosen for the template. It came from BV: (\backgrounds\te007.jpg) but was small. By using the "Repeat in both directions" option it now covers the entire cell. The cell was created using the table option and selecting one column, one row.

Is this the right or best way to create the background for the template?
Is there a way to "flatten" the repeated pattern to make it smaller?
And, yes, I am aware that I need to redo the home page as it is a little off. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hi, nice looking template. Yes! using a table & repeating the image is a good way to do this & saves a lot on page loading times. You can also select just "repeat in vertical direction".

Thanks Chris. You are the one who told me a long time ago to use a table. I just didn't want to go any further with this site and then find out later that it was not done right. I really appreciate your input.

Pleasure! Good luck.
