Hi Mathmagician (a Phantom Tollbooth-inspired name??  :) ) — thanks for the response, and essentially informing me that my best option seems to be carrying on what I was doing already, given the absence of a suitable container from the existing pages to carry a standard background image. I've never really used templates, truth be told, preferring to create the look of pages individually since there's never been anything very complex and just copying and pasting between similar ones where necessary; so I didn't know they could be applied retroactively — are you saying that if I apply a template to an existing page it will override the present formatting without removing all the data? If I can just do that, even with c. 120 pages (as you say, tedious but doable), it'll make doing things manually a good deal easier than editing the source code of each one by one. Know nothing about using bots, though will read into that a bit more from your links; I'm curious though what, if proceeding manually, the sort of "tips that will make it go faster" might be?!
