"How do you make a designed background your skin?"
Lady S., I could be wrong, but I suspect it's a combination of the "Plain" skin and a stylesheet.
Follow this link:

Click the "Blue" radio button and enter this URL in the "Stylesheet:" field:
http://www.paranormal.org.uk/dark.css
To see the world how I see it... 
It's not very fancy, but it's extremely readable. Every page element that you can change the colour of, you could also replace with an image... 
No no no!!

Blaaaargh!
Tried it ... a bit monochromatic! it's driven me to Goo
Ah! colours 
No no no!!

But you see the principle... It'd be really easy to have, say, a sunset for a background. 
No no no!!
mad boffin: Part time House Ogre & Homework Enforcer.AKA George the ubiquitous prophet of Thing Posted Oct 14, 2004
yes!
... MB goes away, suitably chastised but the better for it, to play with his new toy.

No no no!!

FNAAAAH, FNAAAAH NGNGNGGNNGN FYGNYAAAAA!
Sorry, been working in a very dusty atmosphere all day and I have that itch way up in the sinuses that can't be reached. Just trying to use sound to scratch it!
No no no!!

That css thing looks interesting, but I'm not sure I could do it.
And it's FYNAAAAH, not FNAAAAH.
No no no!!

Isn't it just.
No no no!!
mad boffin: Part time House Ogre & Homework Enforcer.AKA George the ubiquitous prophet of Thing Posted Oct 15, 2004
Yep, that worked so I don't have to resort to the knitting needle up the nose again!
No no no!!

We had a problem once with peas, or was it tiny bits of bathroom sponge?
No no no!!

Don't be voyeurs... join in the insanity!
Anyone else noticed the curious time dilation/contraction effects occuring between Poet afternoon and Dontbry evening?
Every hour on Poets afternoon felt like 3 and now every hour until Sodit Morning feels like 15 minutes.
It could of course just be me... ever since the self imposed 
ban I've been noticing strange things...
No no no!!

I agree. We should schedule extra weekends.
No no no!!
Cat-Eyes: No..... why.... ? Posted Oct 16, 2004
Few things from the blog:
1. I use Goo
2. What are rivets?
3. What do rivets have to do with Brunel?
4. Am I missing something? Does Brunel actually mean something?
Damn, I got dragged from the PC and now I've forgotten everything else... Including what we're talking about right now...
No no no!!

Never mind dear, just go have a nice lie down in a darkened room.
No no no!!
Watermusic Posted Oct 16, 2004
Goo sounds too sticky. If I used Goo, at the rate the servers sometimes run, I'd post on Poets and it would appear on Sodit!
I can see a dozen rivets.
Key: Complain about this post
No no no!!
