That's because it *is* a design error ;-)

Just get an image that is very large, looks good in full and looks
good when cut around the sides, and center it.

Not for background images.

You could of course use an image in the HTML instead of it being a
background image, which opens up some scaling options. I doubt your
background image will look good when stretched 150% horizontally and
70% vertically for instance.

Having used CSS during various design phases is no excuse for ending
up with using text, link and vlink attributes in a body element ;-)
