Hi Els:

Thanks again for your valuable suggestions. Wow you really took off a
great burden from my shoulder by telling about non-extending background.
I was feeling perplexed for a few weeks since I had no clue of this. I
was reading from Eric Meyer to understand things better.

I hope I will implement these tricks and make my poetry page and this
picture page better.

Thanks a lot buddy.
