    For backgrounds, Subtle Patterns and BG Patterns never fail me.

    These sites are great, thanks. I especially like BG Patterns. I’ve searched alot online and so many of the free background sites are very ‘Windows 95′ looking with some rather cheesy images. Another site which you might want to suggest is Webtreats. I’ve found some great quality background images as well as brushes, icons and themes.

    Those are some great background sites! Especially the Subtle Patterns one. I find the Pattern Cooler backgrounds a little noisy and distracting though. It’s very important to remember when using background images on your websites that you don’t let the background image distract from your page content.

    It is also usually a good idea to prevent your background pattern from being displayed behind your site’s text because it can impair readability and put people off reading your site. On my own sites I always make sure the background of the page body’s text area remains white or similar. I hope this helps someone.

    You can see an example of what I mean on my new site at http://lifecellcream-reviews.com/. The background image is subtle and dark keeping the focus on my site’s text which maintains a white background for readability.

    I am worried about impeding the viewer’s ability to read an article. I am not stating that you’re wrong. But do the readers really care about a background image within the blog text box? The layout of the website should be easy to navigate and draw in a viewer. But I’m not sure why the text itself should be decorated with a background. I ask this because I am trying to start a blog myself here at warrior. There is nothing there yet. So I’m looking for advice. Thanks for the article!

    I usually make my own in photoshop, it’s not that difficult. But bgpatterns is nice to play with though.

    This is going to be a lifesaver. Whenever I have a quick website I need to grind out, this will save lots of time.
