a couple quick notes:
I don’t know about subsequent builds, I am using ver. 1.2 (yes I needto update) > I found ditching either or both of>
2 tags near the top:
<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
<?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?>
created fatal parse errors, Did’nt think of css display:none; but that would’nt have helped me as I wanted to use an image logo in the div bg. what I did was to force the name to the very top of the blog and made the font-size:.1em; that worked great for me as it is still there and still clickable but virtually invis. yet you can see the cursor hover property change. It happens to be right over the top of the first letter of the blog name so it is kinda kewl ??
plz take a look, I am fighting poker spam bots so depending on when you arrrive and where I am at with re: to that issue will influence if you try to post.

James that post above mine will do nothing for you.
Images used/ positioned with css will not be effected by padding.
you can alter the position within the css in many ways
check this link W3c back ground properties
you can state the div, then a bg in that div >>
#myimagediv{ background: #color url(mypicture.jpg) 12px 24px fixed;
this would position the image 12pixels right from left border (x)
and 24 pixels down from the top (y) as well the “fixed” property would make it non scrolling.
the long handed way would be>>
#div{background: #ffffff url(myimage.jpg);
background-position: left/**center/top/bottom etc or……
background-position: x-12px /**or em, pt, %, inches, mm etc**/
background-repeat:no-repeat; /** if you don’t want it to tile **/
James on your page it looks like the easiest solution would be to add (left) margin to the division containing your image, in order to move the text away from the image. Or as well you could use right margin on the paragraph tag for the text.
