Is there anyway to make the background picture slightly transparent? I have
a Layer that is the size of the displayed webpage. The layer contains this
picture.

Use an image editor and do a wash out of the image

OK - tell me, how large should that image be on my browser?

The point is, you have no way to know how my browser is set. You can
measure my screen resolution, but you cannot determine my browser's viewport
width/height until it is too late to do anything about it.

Trying to "fill the page" with an image is likely to be wrong more times
than it's right, with the added problem of what's bound to be a large and
heavy image.

See what I mean?

Yes I understand the negatives. Here is a temporary subweb.

Try this:

1: Washout the cowgirl image

2: Optimize the cowgirl image - it's WAY too big 121K - get it down to like 20K...it'll still look good

3: Change the BG to white (or sample the white of the cowgirl image).
(IOW...dump the gray bg).

see if you like it then.

I typed it wrong. Should be html!

Good advice. Actually the original background was only 37k. When I did the
washout, I did if from a copy and forgot to make it small again.
Anyway, I will give all these suggestions a shot.

I think it looks better...but I think you can washout the cowgirl even more..the blue text is hard to read in places.

yippee eye A :-)
