- BACKGROUND="location_of_image" - Background Image
- BGCOLOR="#hexadecimal_here" - Background Colour
- LINK="#hexadecimal_here" - Colour of Links

- TEXT="#hexadecimal_here" - Text Colour
Your own HTML page...
Right click in the centre of the image below, and select "Save Image As" / "Save Picture As", or similar. Save it as "bgnd.gif" in the same directory where your home page "index.html" is stored.
Add the following to your HTML page ("index.html"): (the blue text is what to add)
<html>
<head><title>My Home Page</title></head>
<body background="bgnd.gif">
<center><h1>YOURNAME's Home Page</h1></center>
<hr>
