My problem is knowing how to properly display a background or how to
display
a background image that I've designed in Photoshop. This is where advice
would greatly help.
A background should be exactly that, a background. Something that covers the
canvas and over which you place your content.
You don't have a background. You have a big blue box containing some
"content" (the words on that image). That "content", apart from the fact
that it should be text, and not a picture of text, should be real content,
not part of something that is assigned as a background.
As soon as you start putting your "content" in a background image you are
forced to try and position your other content in relation to that "content".
This invaribly fails.
One major reason it fails is that by default background images do not print
(to save ink) so any "content" in the background image will not print.
Another major reason it fails (in this case) is that the google bot does not
read "content" in images. That "content" is invisible to google.
By the way the picture of the pretty girl is way too big. If you use some
proper image manipulation software you could compress it from the 163K it is
now down to something like 20K. Same with the other images. The entire page
is almost 300K. Way too big for what it is.
Oh, and *don't* use letter-spacing to space those two mirror images.
