But they *are* pictures. When you put them in the table command as background="http://etc, they 'tile' themselves to fill up however much space you tell it to.
If you click on one of the backgrounds in this thread (go click on one of the bright blue bgs in my opening), then select "Save background as". Then when you look at it, you will only see something like 100 x 100 size image.
Does that make sense?
It makes sense--but it just doesn't work--yet! I will keep working on it! Don't think I'm gonna give up! I am enjoying using your backgrounds, though, so at least I have them till I "get" the other!
