Question on HTML Jon Spivey helped with

Pye

On May third you showed me a way to make a bluebird obscure part of the home page title of my website. I am very ignoraqnt of HTML but willing to learn as I gather FrontPage, good as it is, won't do everything I want. Anyhow I followed your instructions carefully -- I post them here

You should be able to stop the background image from tiling, either in
div or table cell. Something lik
<style type="text/css"
#theDiv
width:200px
background: #fff url(back.gif) center no-repea

<div id="theDiv"><img src="bird.gif"></div

You could position the background image and the bird exactly where yo
wanted it this way - doesn't have to be centered. I believe NN4 would ge
the position wrong and stick the background top left, which isn't too bad
every other 4+ browser should be fine with i

I did as you suggested, Jon, and got the result visible at www.pyechamberlayne.com (I saved the old index as index1.html in order to be able to go back to the old version). Now both the masthead, "banner.gif" and bird "bluebird.gif" are gone

It's obvious that I know nothing about HTML so I probably did all kinds of things wrong, from placing your code improperly, to failing to change other code or failing to remove HTML that your HTML may have conflicted wth

If you can think of a book for HTML novices where this is covered, please point me to it
