One of the limitations in Canvas is that you can only set one header background image for the whole site. This severely limits the design, look and feel of Canvas sites.
In this free 7-step video tutorial we show how to create a contextual header, where the header background images are inspired by individual page content – producing a nice design effect for your visitors.
Enjoy and let us know if you have any questions in the comments below!

Great Kevin – show us the results!!
Great post – you may have found a new customer. I have a question regarding Step 6 and the Flckr.com/search. Do you have any insight regarding what type of credit you need to give on your website for using someone’s image under the creative commons/commercial use license?
Great point Rob. Here is the answer: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Best_practices_for_attribution
You have to give credit in some way. I would either put this directly on the image (somewhere discreet in small type). Or maybe even in the alt tag.
Great stuff .. cant wait to apply this to our next project
