Welcome to My Less Tacky Page!

This is a small demonstration of how you can use a background image that would otherwise be overpowering in an effective manner.

Please notice that my graphics are designed for use with a white background.

How to do this
The trick to doing this is to use our strong background image, but to enclose the entire contents of our page in a table.

WARNING
Be absolutely certain that you have specified HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes for EVERY image on your page. If you do not do this, your page will not be displayed until the download is finished.
