    I have just had coded the first page of my template:
    http://www.rhys.eu/bbwales/

    if you look in the footer i have the problem of the image being over repeated either side,

    just wondered what i'd need to do to fix it?

    Thank you guys for your time :)

    What would be awesome is if it COULD still repeat. I'd take bg_footer.gif and adjust the sides in an image editing program to make them match up with each other. That way, the left side of the image goes seamless with the right side. Then, even folks with a huge screen rez like me see a constant landscape. Would look pretty cool.

    But, if you cannot do that, you likely want the image set like this (I didn't look to see if it was actually in the footer or on the body, didn't look at the code, so bear with me):

    #footer {
    background: url(bg_footer.gif) center center no-repeat;
    other footer styles;
    }

    The first center centers horizontally, and the second vertically (which, you might not want, so you could also try "center top" instead if that looks better, as the default positioning for a background image is 0 0 (left top)).

    you might want to center your copyright at the footer :)

    the dragon reminds me of the symbol from medieval legos for some reason lol

    Yeah, that's a pretty basic dragon. Our lions here in the Netherlands look like that, too.

    I see why the copyright stuff isn't centered-- it's more readable with the plain green background than if it were in the middle.

    But, you could inch it closer to the right, or, if you were to center it, give that text a little coloured background like white or something, which will cover up part of the footer image but would be acceptable visually I think.
