The Question:
I know that the <BODY> statement is supposed to be how your page is going to look, but how do I use it?


Answer: It is true that the <BODY> statement controls the way your page will look, but there are some nifty things you can do to get it that way.

Lets look at a few:

BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" or "WHITE" - This is how you set the color for your Background
TEXT="#000000" or "BLACK" - This is how you set the color for your Text
BACKGROUND="./images/bkg.gif" - This is how you set a Background Image.

I dont mean to confuse you with the "./images/ " This simply changes directs the browser to another subdirectory where the images are stored. I personally like to keep images and code in two different directories to keep things neat and organized.
BGPROPERTIES="fixed" - Here's a nifty little trick if you want the words to scroll but not the background image! Try it! :)
