Following are some samples of HTML codes you may want to use on your Web page.

A background can be a .JPG or .GIF image that "floods" the screen through the use of a specific HTML tag -- the BODY BACKGROUND tag. Remember that the .JPG or .GIF image must uploaded into the same directory that contains other elements for the Webpage.

The HTML code for this particular page is:
{BODY BACKGROUND="chalk.jpg"} -- with < > symbols substituted for the { } symbols.

Shown below are a few more images that show a variety of choices you could use for a background:

The image in this background is a wide rectangle that graduates from blue to white from left to right.

The image in this background is a small square chalk pattern that "tiles" nicely as a background.

The image in this background is a medium square pawprint pattern that "tiles" nicely as a background -- but starts to make the text harder to read. The image in this background is a rectangular picture of my pup that I brightened in an image editing program. However, as you can see, the tiling effect doesn't work well with this type of image and it is also very hard to read.

Web colors come in two forms: Those with names, and those with numbers. The 16 colors that go by names are shown below:

Black Gray Silver White Lime Green Olive Navy

Blue Aqua Teal Fuchsia Maroon Purple Red Yellow

The HTML code would read as follows:
{BODY BGCOLOR="aqua"> -- with < > symbols substituted for the { } symbols.

A background can also be represented by numbers as shown below:

000000 333333 666666 999999 CCCCCC FFFFFF

000033 333300 666600 999900 CCCC00 FFFF00

000066 333366 666633 999933 CCCC33 FFFF33

000099 333399 666699 999966 CCCC66 FFFF66

0000CC 3333CC 6666CC 9999CC CCCC99 FFFF99

The HTML code would read as follows:
{BODY BGCOLOR="#3333CC"} -- with < > symbols substituted for the { } symbols.
