Billie, it's so easy to copy your code and paste it. Now if only I could learn the codes for myself. You must be a good teacher because so many have learned from you. I'm dense.

Hey, look at you! :)

What the others have learned to do is *substitute* the urls and play with the *cellpadding* and *width* numbers. The basics are there - all the things *inside* the html codes can be finessed. You can change background images, background colors, the background *frame* widths, the font colors and sizes, etc. This same table that you and Meg posted could look like this with just the numbers changed in those two background images.

A whole bunch of text can go here.

<table background="http://d21c.com/billie/backgrounds/goldribbon.jpg" cellpadding=10 cellspacing=0 border=12>
<tr><td><center>
<table background="http://d21c.com/billie/backgrounds/browngradientpatternbg.jpg" cellpadding=20>

If you look at the first one I posted and compare it to this one, you will see that I changed the numbers of the cellpaddings in both tables, and the border in the first table. That is all. It made the 'frame' wider. :)

I used the old freepmail you sent to me long ago to learn to post graphics. I just used Billie's tables posts, substituted the jpg, adjusted size and color. I did not want to use her link to Billie ribbon addresses without asking first..but all I had to do was ask.

I asked her to create more space around my partridge and she did the lovely framing,too.

I copied and stored framed codes I have done in order to have one handy to make subs in. That way I don't have to type every bit of code every time. I really do not like to type. "Tomorrow" finally came and Scarlett was ready to think about it. ;)
