thanks Massimo,

I think you're right to be concerned that this is the wrong approach 

I wanted to add a small image, logo, just below the navbar.  I was 
concerned that the image might shift over on top of text on devices that I 
haven't tested yet, so I thought that as background image, text that 
unexpectedly shifted over it could safely be readable.

I'll study how other people handle this and try later.  This is a temp fix 
below but pages actually look cleaner without the image anyway.
<style>
   body { background: url({{=URL('static', 'images/bulb_small.png',)}});
background-repeat: no-repeat;background-position: 8% 4%;}
</style>

thanks,

Alex
