Sample Backgrounds

I think that creating good backgrounds is something of an art form. And therefore, out-of-league for an artistically-challenged guy like myself. Fortunately, there are lots of great backgrounds images out there on the Web that you can grab for free. So when you get online, stop by my web site (http://www.coolnerds.com), go the Web Publishing section, and check out the Web Art links.

In the meantime, if you just want to fool around with some sample backgrounds while reading Chapter 14, here's a few you can swipe and play around with. (Click here for help on using backgrounds)
