What are you talking about polish for? This just looks like a centered graphic, no big deal...Hey, remember, LAYERS?? Remember this is a BACKGROUND?? Know what that means?? Right...It is a BACKGROUND, so stuff can get layers on top of it...That means that we can put text, graphics, tables, whatever we want RIGHT on top. Are you exited yet?? No, well, amybe I can up the ante. Remember the no-repeat? Well there are other repeat attributes in the CSS specs! Would you like to know about some of them? Before we go there, now is probably a good time to mention that your background images should be opaque enough to let the text be visible, that is that you should have suitable contrast so that the text is readable when you layer it over images! See, this page violates this rule...rather badly...I give it an "F"
