its best to use css really "its the future"

so it would be:

HTML Code:

<style>
{
background: 99ccff;
}
</style>

or to make an image your bg:

HTML Code:

<style>
{
background: url(IMG URL);
}
</style>

Plus withing afew years all the <font> tags etc will be replaced by it anyway so your best to learn it and use it now.

Hmm.. www.w3schools.com is the ultimate place for css but its less tutorialised really. But css is VERY basic and you will pick it up in two seconds.
