Thanks so much for your reply. I will go to work deciphering it all and seeking to understand. I will let you know of the fruit of your reply and am sure I will be back with more questions. I notice in your profile, you see yourself as a beginner. Well, if you are a beginner, what does that make me?

I introduced myself as a newcomer in the appropriate forum. If my questions are way too beginnerish, have patience, I am a quick study, But please help me out. Rt now, I am taking a course at udemy for $20, but he keeps losing me. And he doesn't get at the very beginner type questions I have. So here they are. Question #1. How do I take an image and make it my background image? Should be straightforward, and I used to do it in HTML several versions ago, but now there are sections, and CSS style sheets and all that other stuff. My second question. I need to do a drop down menu that gives a user a choice of quite a few other links. For instance, a drop down menu that has a list of chapters that link to corresponding pages. Man, am I rusty at this stuff. I did this way back when the Internet first came on the scene, but have apparently forgotten so much that I am embarrassed to ask... So

So here is my first question. How do I take an image and make it my background image? SHould be straightforward, and I used to do it in HTML several versions ago, but now there are sections, and CSS style sheets and all that other stuff. My second question. I need to do a drop down menu that gives a user a choice of quite a few other links. For instance, a drop down menu that has a list of chapters that link to corresponding pages. Man, am I rusty at this stuff. I paid $20 to take a UDEMY course on HTML but he keeps losing me.. maybe its my age.. And finally, how do I subscribe to this forum so I get an email indicating any responses?

I am looking to build a website. I built a few websites back in the day when were were still using dos, and lynx and were still using BBS services. Who remembers those?? So now that I have dated myself, I consider myself a newbie. I will have plenty of newbie type questions along the way. I hope this is a safe site for newbies.
