Cascading Style Sheets (CSS); Backgrounds (part 1 of 2)

Background Color
Here is the method of specifying a page background color. For single page, put this in the HEAD area. For site-wide implementation, you'll probably want to put the style into your external CSS file.
<style type="text/css">
<!--
BODY { background-color: yellow; }
-->
</style>
Changing the color name (or changing the #ffff00 hexadecimal equivalent), will change the background color of the one page or all pages using an external CSS file.
