Most
newer versions of Web Browsers can load an image and use it as a background
when displaying a page. Some people like background images and some don't. In
general, if you want to include a background, make sure your text can be read
easily when displayed on top of the image.
Background
images can be a texture (linen finished paper, for example) or an image of an
object (possibly a logo). You create the background image as you do any image,
however you only have to create a small image as the browser uses a feature
called tiling, it takes the image and repeats it across and down to fill your
browser window. This action is automatic when you use the background tag which
goes in the BODY tag.
