The background is meaning the body background.. the colour or image that is going to appear in the spare sections of the browser. If it has lines in it then you need to make it so it tiles nicely.

He's saying you need to plan your background slicing much better.
Slice it a way that it will tile without seams, like it currently has.

I think you can skip that part as you don't really have a background image.

This slicing is really confusing, is there a tutorial which is more based on my layout? rather than the other layout, its completely different.

The principals of slicing are the same.. the areas you slice are determined by the file you are slicing. Don't take the tut literary, just use it as a guide as to how slicing is done.

You will never, ever find a tutorial that covers exactly what you need. Improvise ;)

to be honest your gonna find it hard to slice no matter what and its gonna stretch horribly unless the proportions are kept the same. I suggest you sit down and think about how you would slice your layout, come up with a template then take your current style and put it on that template.
