Making backgrounds.

ok.. well I figured out almost everything else... but when it comes to putting a image in the background I saw on the forums that the code is something like <body background="/images/background.gif"> but uh... where do I put it? Cause I can't get the background to show up. This is probably a repetitive question but I couldn't find a post that helps.

Well, the best thing to do is open up your page in notepad, or some other text editor, and use the "find" or "search" function for the tag <body>. Then add the 'background' information to it. It's usually in the top third of the document, and every html document has one.

To better answer your question...
1) If you mean, where do you put the body tag, you put it near the top of the page... personally I do this:
<html>
<title>example</title>
<body background=.....>
I suggest using a complete URL, ie:
<body background="
http://yoursite.keenspace.com/images/foobar.jpg">
Like Moghendhim said, if there's already a <body> tag, just add the background information... don't put a second body tag into your document.
By the by, be sure to close the body tag at the end of your document.
...
...
</body>
</html>
2) If you mean, where do you put your IMAGE, you put it in your images folder.

eh... I don't have a <body> tag...the only thing that says body is the </body> thing at the end. So if I am putting a body tag in.... where does that go?

The top, basically. After the header (ie, after </head>), or if there's no header, after the <html> tag.
