Ok, so my town's Chamber of Commerce website is crappy and I get to fix it up. I have no I dea how to make this work, sincethey're requiring me to use this image as a background image on the first page:What should I do?

You can use CSS to set this image as a background image but I would recommend reducing the opacity of this image so if you have text over it, there will be enough contrast so users can read it. Oh and try not to use a huge image like this one. If you could reduce the size and maybe a bit the quality so it's fast to load.background: url('images/bg.jpg') no-repeat;

I'd start with:<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=index2.htm" /> From there, you options are endless.In all honesty, I'd challenge them to justify why it is needed - at the very least in the respect they are requiring it use. Branding is one thing and I understand its importance. But there are better more effective ways to do then slapping it in a background - which, btw, is not a primary visual element so the concept already is contradicting their intent.Did they form a committee to decide what to do with the site or is it more informal?P.S. You're right, http://www.kemmererchamber.com/ need help - the image is over and incorrectly utilized - but be care when critiquing the image and its use - someone with a lot of pull is really attached to that image from the looks of it.
