3. Another great background trick is to place a smaller picture in background, such as your company logo or some other image that you do not want to take up entire screen. This works best against a white background. Here is html code:

If you want image to show up just in a table:

I used this function in just one cell of a table by inserting it in my

tag for my navigation menu at http://www.vitamin-supplements-store.net . Notice how faded bottle is in background behind navigation links, but it does not repeat down page. 4. You can further control position of background image. Consider following code: We now have a background that fills top right corner of page. Depending how big it is, it might cover most of screen or just corner. 5. Another way to use background images are as navigation buttons. While search engines can easily follow image links, they don't carry same relevancy as keyword-rich text links. A background button image can make a text link look like a button. Each navigation link would have to be placed within its own table or cell, then apply code used in previous example. Used properly, background images can greatly enhance appeal of your website.

Somer Continued from page 1 A lot of sites just look like giant advertisements and you have to search for needle in haystack to find out what actual site is for. I know advertising is a way of making money, but if you want your site to have an authentic, respectable atmosphere that exudes a feeling of integrity, you better be careful. People are becoming wary of this consumer driven, mindless attack at average civilian’s wallet. Some people will automatically leave a site if a bunch of commercials pop-up on screen. Pop-ups, don’t even make me go there… So, aim of game is to make a site that offers public to be part of action as well as being a source of knowledge or information that is in demand. A simple to navigate, good ‘feel’, and if possible-innovative site is means to becoming popular Internet magnate you’ve always dreamed of becoming. Another important fact is idea of ‘you’. Your website is a chance to put your identity out there in world. Be yourself. If you try to appeal to an audience in a way that doesn’t reflect your true self, you’re destined to fail. Be honest and speak from your real perspective on life. Give it to us from heart. Jesse S. Somer M6.Net http://www.m6.net Jesse S.
