Hi Jason. As long as you are successfully calling the style sheet you should have no problem since the path to the image directory is relative to the style sheet. In your main style sheet your path to your background image should be: background-image: url(../images/bg.gif); Also, you might want to consider changing that BG image to a jpg's so you can compress it to a reasonable size w/o sacrificing too much quality. Right now it's 382kB and takes nearly a minute for dial-up users to download the first time. You could easily get it down to under 60kB.
