Background Images

Another use of images is providing a patterned background for a webpage. Some images are made to be used specifically as backgrounds and can be used by replacing the BODY BGCOLOR = "color" tag with the BODY BACKGROUND = "image" tag. This tag is used in much the same way as the image source tag; you must put the name of the background, along with its suffix, in place of the word "image" in the tag. As before, you should make sure that you choose a proper text color for the background you use so that the text will be readable. Try to avoid brightly colored or "busy" background patterns, which can make text hard to read.
