I Went to Try to Find some Borders and Frames on the Internet, but I am too Dense to Figure Out how to Do it! I Finally Decided to Put the Beautiful Gif you Gave me into your Frame to See how it would Look. It Looks a little Out of Focus, or Something, so I Tried to Fiddle with 2 Numbers in all that Information I Copied and Pasted, but it doesn't Look much Different. I think it's Cute, Sweet (((((((Billie)))))))!

We'll be back again tomorrow, Kitty, so try again. When you look for backgrounds, they will be very small graphics (either .jpg or .gif) But when you give it the BACKGROUND command vs. the IMG SRC command, it keeps repeating itself over and over and over, as big as your table is. It starts in the upper left corner and tiles all the way across, and then starts again just under the first 'row' - it keeps going and going and going :) until you turn the table commands OFF.

It is background graphics that surround that picture I posted - if the picture were larger, then the 'frames' (made with the table commands using background graphics) would just expand as large as the picture is. The reason your kitty is too *fat* is not that she ate too much, but you probably posted the width and height of the graphic *I* posted. Miss Kitty is a different size than my little girl graphic, and your numbers should be whatever actual size the kitty graphic is. Preview a post of your kitty graphic without the width and height and it will be right. But we LIKE to include the width and height in posting our graphics, because the browser will leave the right size space for that graphic to open, and if we're reading, the text won't jump around as those graphics (that *weren't* given width and height) open to the true size. It's a good habit to get into. You can get the figures by right-clicking the photo, select properties, and it gives the size under "Dimensions", as an example: 100 x 120 pixels.

So have I confused you even more? :(
