With a little bit of use of the propriety DXImageTransform filter you can

There is some strange behaviour when using the in repeating background

Hi Mark,
First of all it looks like you are resizing your images using the width
and height attributes on the img tag. If those dimensions do not match
the ones on the image then your images wind up being pixelated (like
they are on the logo).
A quick scan of your code, replace your b tags
. But this
results in a pixelized img. Any further suggestion here?). I will
incorporate your suggestions but thx much for giving the site the once
