The background is a nice idea, but badly implemented - I'm running "Goo" at a resolution of 1280x1024, which leads to a second column of images cutting through the middle of the text, making it pretty much unreadable.
Two solutions - either make the background JPEG wider than any reasonably foreseeable screen resolution (I'd make it 2048 pixels wide; if you use a selective JPEG compression utility such as "JPEG Optimiser" you can apply maximum compression to the blank area, thus having a minimal impact on the overall file size) or you could use style sheet commands to force the image to only repeat in the vertical axis; if you do this you can crop it down to the photo area.
Whichever option you use, I'd suggest you also throw in an indent or two, as Alibaster users have the text running over the left column of images too...
