Good stories. Yes, Bench was amazing, and revolutionized the position. I long considered him the greatest I had ever seen behind the plate, but some of Pudge Rodriguez's exploits made me have to think again. By any standard, though, Bench was an incredible catcher. Lucky you to have met Warren Spahn. When I was a kid, he and Lou Burdette were the best one-two pitching punch in the game.

There are so many pics I'd like to use, but I want to be respectful of the original owner's bandwith.

Aren't there some free sites to which I can post pictures, and then link from there to FR?

Any help here would be appreciated.

I did this a few years ago. I found a really awesome Hubble photo of a nebula and posted it as my background. I hotlinked the picture without permission. The owner of the site I hotlinked from wasn't too happy about this and changed the photo from the Keyhole Nebula to a naked gay dude stroking his erect pecker. I didn't know about this for a few days. Then the FReepmails started arriving. "Dude! What's up with your homepage?!?!"

LMAO!! Thanks! That is just the funniest thing I have heard all week!!!

I'll send you the code in FReepMail with three options for you to check. With the tiled background and text on top (where it's hard to read the text (someone may know how to fade a background picture)) - with the text above and the tiled picture below - with the text above and one centered picture below (give me a few minutes).

You have Mail.

I recommend option 3) with the text above and a centered picture below, or option 1) with the text above and the tiled picture below.

Maybe someone else knows how to fade the background picture so the text would be visible over the picture in option 2)

Here are some free backgrounds, bland ones but good for us beginners . . .

click here

I tried doing real pictures, like angels, etc., but found it to be extremely distracting. Makes it harder to read the text.
