And quite different from what you asked. You have now set a fixed centered
background image. Your main mistake was that you didn't explain what you
wanted to achieve in terms of visual impression, just an assumed technical
approach (as in the Subject line).

Well, it might be what you really wanted, but it _looks_ like a baby or an
ape has been given your page and a pen to draw with, and it happened to mess
up your content and not the available empty space (of which the page mainly
consists, so it was really bad luck).
Why make the text less readable with a background image like that?
Or to take another perspective: If the image is useful or pretty, why make
it less useful and less pretty by spilling some text over it?
Positioning the image (as background) into the upper left corner so that you
carefully _avoid_ making it cover the text might be a much better idea.
