so like, do u know a lil bout html?

so first off, windows has this thing where you can put a webpage on ur desktop: if you check the 'display settings' and under 'desktop', they'res a box that says "customize desktop" and theres a tab that says web. and you can open a new page and then it'll show up on your desktop!

so yeah, basicly, we're just making our own web page.

so like the webpage i made, uses this thing called 'refresh'. so it would automatically refresh the current web page, or like into another page.
check it:

CODE
<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->

<html>

<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="30;URL=kms2.htm">
</head>

<body>
<style type="text/css">
body { background-image: url('001.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position:  center;}</style>
</script>

</body>

</html>


<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->


so heres "kms1.htm". so check it, it says "refresh" like towards the top, and then you see 'kms2.htm'. so what that would do, is refresh the page to kms2.htm. so like the same html is in kms2.htm also! and where is it gonna refresh? kms3.htm,kms4.htm,kms5, etc. you can make as many as you want, but when ur done, you want the last page, to refresh back to the first page. so thats how it rotates.

oh i forgot, so you just replace the images where it says "background-image: url('001.jpg'); " . so like change the 001.jpg to the ones u want. and you would do that for each web page you make.

so you put all that in one folder, and then try it if it works. so open kms1.htm in internet explorer, and it should refresh to kms2.htm, and so on. then you can just go to ur desktop settings and set that page on your desktop, resize the window across your desktop and there! it should start working.

simple??

heres a zip of the folder with example html and pictures : example folder
