Because the body already has a repeating background (the dark grey pattern),
I didn't think Geoff's recommendation would be possible for this design. I
would be very pleased to find out that it would be possible to use both
images somehow. I also tried applying Geoff's recommendation to a container
div. ie, the body retains its dark grey pattern background, and the
container div has the 500px wide etc png background. Unfortunately, the
header image has transparency, and the container div background was visible
through it.
