"Should there be a white background if the cel doesn't come with one?"

That depends on the cel; the detail would probably show up better with a white background. 
I usually just put a few sheets of computer paper behind mine to keep the un-painted areas of 
the cel from showing up as black.


"Or should I take a picture of the cel and then scan the picture?"

You could, but you would get a much better picture by just scanning it directly.


"Also, what size should I make the cels on the webpage"

Large enough to be seen, but small enought to keep the page from taking years 
to load! :)  I keep mine at 101K and have them linked to larger images around 400K. Or, you 
could try doing thumbnails, but I have no idea how to do that, or exactly how it works.
