I'm looking to create a very subtle dot background pattern, like the one on this site. I'm pretty familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator and have been able to produce a dot pattern, but the scale is much too big, and when I try to create a smaller pattern using a smaller circle, it simply disappears, or becomes a solid gray once I import it as a background. Does anyone have any idea how to make a pattern like the one on that site? It seems like it should be pretty straightforward, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

I am trying to create a professional looking logo for a Web site. I am using GIMP but finding I am very limited in terms of what I can do with it. Is there a software package that I should be using that will allow me to create a good looking logo/header image? I understand Photoshop is the best however, it's really expensive (700.00). Are there any software alternatives or do I just have to pony up for Photoshop? By the way, I have a PC.

Hideously incompetent webmaster volunteer dies, leaving awesome but destitute nonprofit reptile park with a blacklisted, non-updatable web site. Management is all-consumed by the task of feeding and caring for 300 huge crocodiles and running around the country to rescue others, so it falls on the rest of us to bring their web site, a simmering pile of alligator squat, back to some point of usability. But how the heck to proceed without drowning in crocodile tears? [more inside]
