You can add color as I have done, just use bgcolor in the opening marquee leaving a space black.

marquee anyone
You can also make the marquee smaller or center by using the the Width=? The one I use is 50%
(center)(marquee width=50%)marquee anyone(/marquee)(/center)

This is done by changing the behavior and direction of the marquee to either left or right. The one I use is direction=right

Figure This One out!

Sound MIDI

If you want sound in your homepage use midi not wav because midi are more compressed and you get more sound in less download time.you can either use (bgsound src) or (embed src)

If you use (embed src="URL") You'll get the speaker or you could loop it endless like the music your hearing now.
(embed src="URL"autostart=true loop=true hidden=true)(/embed)

Transition Effect

Don't you ever wonder how other homepage when you clicked on the links they have this effects when getting the other page? Well, this is done by transition effects.

(A HREF="URL"transition="?")(/A)

Types of Transition:

slideup
slidedown
slideleft
slideright
wipedown
wipeup
wipeleft
wiperight

Audioscope

Here's a good one that put graphics in your homepage. As far as I know this can't be seen by other browser, but it's so cool!

< p>The code for this are:

(audioscope width=300 height=60 gain=2 border=5 leftoffset=5 rightoffset=-5 leftcolor=red rightcolor=blue)(/audioscope)

Notice that the leftoffset=5 make sure the rightoffset=-5

Here's another one:

This one is different from the first the code for this are:

(audioscope width=300 height=60 gain=0 border=5 leftoffset=5 rightoffset=-5 leftcolor=red rightcolor=blue)(/audioscope)

Notice that the gain=0 that is important if you want it to look like this.

Display Parameters

This specifics are good only if you viewers are using webtv, they will be amazed when they press the "info" in the option button they find all this nice effects. Note as I stress again changed the ( ) into > < when your ready to start, don't forget !

(DISPLAY HIDEOPTIONS)
This is good for those who needs more space, It hide the option bar at the bottom of the webtv browser.

(DISPLAY ADDRESS="URL")

This hide the real address when they clicked on the "info" button. Also instead of the URL you can put different messages.

(DISPLAY NOLOGO)

This thing disable the webtv logo that pop up for no reason whatso ever, like we don't know were using webtv.

(DISPLAY NOSCROLL)

Eliminate the scrolling option on the page. Good for those who want people to read everthing you write about.

Body Credits

This are added to the body tags which extend the features of your browsers, when they press the option bar there will be another buttons added, which will amazed them.

(BODY CREDITS="URL")

Looking for credits in your page, well put this in and a credit button will appear.

(BODY LOGO="URL")

This I like, you can put a graphic in the "save screen and in the "info" on the option button. Try it now press the option bar or press the "recent" button, what did you see? Is that cool or what!

(BODY INSTRUCTIONS="URL")

This put an instruction button and when clicked will bring them to that URL.
