Which reminds me ... a few days ago I added a background image and
generally tidied up a very old page. The pic I used is quite famous to
those in the know, however it is largely obscured (almost completely in
IE).
I wanted to add some comment to the page, noting pertinant info about the
image. I settled on a short paragraph in the end, but it did occur to me
that those surfing without images would wonder wtf I was talking about and
that perhaps an image of the text (with no alt text) would be a better
choice.
