	text backgrounds nate linked from backgrounds Backgrounds		This is tricky, perhaps because it's a flagrant abuse of HTML styles (and taste in general.) Here's a few ways to do it: this way makes a black "cell" at the top and a brown one under. the code can be copied multiple times to make more segments: black cell text goes here </td></tr></table></td></tr> <tr bgcolor=brown><td colspan=2><table border=0 cellspacing=1 cellpadding=2><tr><td>brown cell text goes here Here's another way (copied from azragx's blog.) I don't know why this works, which makes me not like it, but it seems to work: put <tr bgcolor=blue><td colspan=2> at the top of your post. Also, for inline text (chat entries) try: <font style='background-color: blue'>blue-background text</font>
