+General Notes
+=============
+The poster was created with the help of Brian Amberg's [LaTeX Poster Template][].
+
+The source is a bit commented, however, there are some minor caveats one should be aware of when compiling them.
+
+Compiling the sources
+=====================
+I ran into some minor issues while using the template. Ain't sure ir it is an issue on other systems (I had Windows 7x64 with MiKTeX v2.8).
+
+**The best way to evade them is to use pdflatex instead of latex to create the poster.** If it is required, `latex` may also be used, you can find some minor workarounds for the issues rising below.
+
+No background image is displayed
+--------------------------------
+Clean the project by deleting the following files:
+
+- `poster.aux`
+- `poster.dvi`
+- `poster.log`
+
+Then recompile the sources. The background image should be displayed.
+
+Backround image positioning problem workaround
+--------------------------------------------------
+1. First, change the document class options as follows:
+
+		%\documentclass[a0paper,portrait]{baposter}
+		\documentclass[a4paper,portrait]{baposter}
+
+  Just change `a0paper` to anything else (`a4paper` just worked for me, ain't sure about the others).
+2. Compile the sources.
+3. Change back the document class definition to `a0paper`, and the result should show the background image properly.
