Romans 12:7,8 - If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

Recommendations

Backgrounds

A background should enhance your site not overpower it – don’t let it detract from the content.

don’t use brightly coloured backgrounds that make it difficult to read your text
remember that sound files in the background will impact on the loading time of your site as they’re big in size
if you use a sound file in the background of your page give the user the option to turn it off
some browsers don’t recognise background images in tables and cells so don’t use this method
don’t use large images as backgrounds to your pages – get your message across with another technique
