Add a background to your webpage

Textured or multi-colored backgrounds (BACKGROUND not BGCOLOR)

Example: <BODY BACKGROUND="bluesky.gif">

  1. First, go to http://www.delta.edu/images/back/ for some sample backgrounds
  2. Click on the links to find a good background
  3. Move your pointer over background and click with the RIGHT mouse button. Select "Save Image As..." from the menu that appears.
  4. Remember where you save the image and what its name is! I recommend saving to a 3.5" diskette, if you're at Delta.
  5. Go back to Netterm. Exit your web page (CTRL-X), if necessary.
  6. Type rz and press Enter.
  7. The Select File(s) To Send dialog box will appear.
  8. Find the background image file name, click on it and click the Open button.
  9. It will then be uploaded to Alpha. Do not close Netterm!
  10. Wait for the $ to appear, then type pico images.html and press Enter.
  11. Add the background to the <BODY> tag and save.
    EXAMPLE: <BODY BACKGROUND="image.jpg">
  12. Remember -- only ONE <BODY> tag!
  13. Switch back to Netscape and reload your web page.
  14. You can use this procedure for almost any image or background on the Internet.
  15. To upload multiple files, hold down the Shift key or Ctrl key as you click on the files.
Note: You can also find many more backgrounds at The Background Archive (http://www.pixelfoundry.com/bgs.html).
