How to add an background, and image into your auction, me pages or stores.

Copy and paste the one you picked below: Into your auction, me page or save as a txt file for later use.

Make sure where you see your own background, url goes here you start with the http :// of the address where you store your images. This guide will not allow me to place in the http :// in the samples.

You can use a practice board to check these out, Being we can not show different html codes in this page, I am unable to show you what it will look like. But there are places on the web such as

practiceboard.com 

which you can see how this will look :) The below are for a multi color background for your auctions, me pages, or stores.

 

<table width="100%" cellpadding=40 cellspacing=0 border=1 background=" your own background url goes here">
<tr><td width="100%">
<p><center>
<table width="100%" cellpadding=40 cellspacing=0 border=1 background="your own background url goes here">
<tr><td width="100%">
<p><center>
<table width="100%" cellpadding=20 cellspacing=0 border=1 background="your own background url goes here">
<tr><td width="100%">

Your Page Content Goes Here.
This part goes down as you type in your page content.
Or add in your images you want to add in.

To Add in an image to your auction write it like this

<img src=" your own web site picture url goes here">

You can add in as many of these as you wish to your auction
<p>

</td></tr></table></center>
</td></tr></table></center>
</td></tr></table>

 

Or else you can have it like this:


<table width="100%" cellpadding=40 cellspacing=0 border=1 background=" your own background url goes here">
<tr><td width="100%">

<p><center>
<table width="100%" cellpadding=40 cellspacing=0 border=1 background="your own background url goes here">
<tr><td width="100%">

Your Page Content Goes Here
This part goes down as you type in your page content.
Or add in your images you want to add in.
To Add in an image to your auction write it like this

Dont for get to have it start with the http.

<img src="your own web site picture url goes here">

You can add in as many of these as you wish to your auction

 <p>
</td></tr></table></center>
</td></tr></table>


Now if you just want a background color on your auction and nothing fancy you can just do this:

For just a 'background color' in your pages ....

<TABLE WIDTH=90% BGCOLOR=tan>
<TR>  <TD>

... description goes here...

Images goes inside of here

All information goes here <p>

</TD> </TR> </TABLE> <p>

This is what you would write:


<TABLE WIDTH=90% BGCOLOR=#??????>
<TR>  <TD>

... description goes here...
images goes here and etc goes inside of here.

This also will get longer as you type in your information

Replace the #????? with a color you picked, or remove the #????? and type in a color name in the above I typed in tan for the example.

For a color chart you can go to:

zoicks.com/bselect.htm

</TD> </TR> </TABLE>
