3. Remember to Refresh (Apple + R) page after each edit. More HTML Tags:<body background=”______.gif/.jpg”>
use an image as a background instead of a color; depending on the image size, the image will tile. 
non-breaking space on same line, this tag is not within brackets < ><p>   </p>
add this tag to space content down on the page.<blockquote>
