Isn't this great fun????? Billie is a WONDERFUL teacher. Of all the hostesses, I am definately the most "HTML" impaired. Just can't find the time to "learn". There have been many a time that either aqua, billie or lori have jumped in and "saved me" or I just keep using the same background. Dolly, our newest "sistah" has "zipped past me" having only been doing this a few months :o)

BUT...I would recommend you save ALL the tables as text files...then go to google to find different backgrounds, borders, upload them into a server and then "play". Just insert the new < img command where billie's are.

I think billie mentioned you can test on many sites....many are "more forgiving" than FreeRepublic. Because I can get "sloppy" forgetting to turn on or off a command, I just test on FR. (Hit on the right corner "post article"...on Title of the Thread: Misc, Topics, Misc...whatever you're looking at put in the body and then hit "preview" at the bottom. (Billie, I'm not sure...can you preview a whole "thread" just as a post???) BUT CAUTION: be sure after you preview BE SURE to hit back or "get out of FR".... and don't accidently hit "post". There's nothing MORE EMBARRASSING then posting a misc. thread that doesn't make sense. One time I had 15 people respond within 5 minutes (at my expense but with great humor) before I asked the ad. moderator to delete it (you hit the report abuse button...and they are great AND quick). Anyway, I think there are folks on FR whose days are made when they catch us in glitches LOL!!!

Didn't mean to go on and on. Probably told you MORE than you need to know LOL!!!

LOL! Thanks for the words of caution! I am sure that if anyone would embarrass herself, it would be me! :o)

and don't accidently hit "post".

LOL!! No matter how many threads I post, I always hold my breath and concentrate hard on NOT hitting the post button until I am ready.

I've said before that I think it is John's perverse sense of humor that caused him to scrunch the "post" button right up next to the "edit" button. LOL! You know, he could have made it a lot less nerve-racking by putting it on the OTHER side of the page.......but, no.....

I had to smile when you were talking about previewing because I nearly did something like that last night when preparing the dose for one horrible moment I thought I had pressed post instead of preview.
