Re: [WSG] ideas for this site
Of the body or a container div?.. and have a div with padding to set it in the middle? Is this the best practice for a site of this idea? Thanks!

The down-side to this is that it would be... well... a huge image.

That makes sense. I'm going to give it a whirl and see what I can mock up for him. Thanks again!
