Hi James,
Do some research on CSS, it can't help you to size the background image, but
it can help you to control it in such a way that it doesn't repeat itself.
This is the quick and dirty way to do it using what is known as "inline
CSS", which is the closest to the way that you are used to doing it with
attributes:
<body style="background: url( 'aworld.gif' ) center center no-repeat;">
Once you know more about CSS you will know to put that in an external
stylesheet, but for now that should at least get you started.
Cheers
