Consider using the picture as a background image. I did a similar thing when building this site: http://staff.reynolds.edu/mcline/index.html
Two significant considerations: 1. I had to make the image about 22" wide so that it wouldn't repeat on the larger monitors, and had to construct the content of the image so that it looked good with either a large or small monitor. 2. Some browsers load the bg image last, and indicate in the status bar that the page is fully loaded while the bg image is still loading and unseen. HTH Kimberly On 4/20/07, Jukka K.
