Rule #1: Keep the background subtle. Don't let it distract from or obscure the content.

Rule #2: Consider your audience. Not everyone browses with the same software and hardware. For instance, if you design your website for, say. 800 x 600 resolution, you could end up with some really weird results if your background image ends up tiling for people viewing with 1024 x 768.

Rule #3: It's usually best to just stick with a white or off white background, or put your content in a table or div with the same.

Thanks. So, its better to stick with solid backgrounds than a picture background.
