I'm prohibited from telling you how to use that marquee tag on grounds of taste and common decency.

It is also required that you use lime green backgrounds with a red font - will add a touch of class if you also embed a MIDI file without giving the users any option to stop it. After all you want to them hear every second of the Lion King "Circle of life"

Only if that lime green background is an animated GIF tiled many times.

And a tip for all those first-websiteers out there...
Go into paint, make a black document, put some white dots on it: You've got a starry background.

Better still, play it yourself on an electronic keyboard, it is especially good when accompanied with a pre-set accompiament. Leave mistakes in—it proves you played it yourself ;)!

Why do people say “Quad bike” and “Double prime”—it is like saying a “three-sided square”, oh wait they do, “Tri-square”?!
