How to add a background image

   Background images can make your webpage look and feel better.  Whether it's a solid color or a picture of something, it can make or break a webpage.  Doesn't the light blue of this page seem inviting?
    Once you have found either a JPG or GIF image for your background (I have found that JPG's work better for solid colors and GIF's work better for images), add the tag
<body background="file name"> anywhere in your code and there you go!  Just insert the file name where it says "file name" (be sure to add the quotes) and make sure that you have its location correct.   
    In HTML editing programs, such as FrontPage Express, go to "Page Properties" and look around.  You should find a place to type in or browse for an image for the background.
