how do you create a background that is not tiled nd is centered using HTML?

Centering vertically and horizontally is difficult to do, but can be done with CSS. Are you using CSS on your site?

You could also make a table I suppose and to a <td valign="center"><center>picname.jpg code here</center></td>

Something like that...

I'd say: remake your background in PhotoShop and place it centered ..
Easiest and you're always sure about it.

Er, who says s/he has Photoshop? That's some expensive software. Besides, it won't stay centred if the user's screen resolution (or window size) is something other than that for which s/he created the image.
