A cool profile effect
Check out this profile: http://www.aimpages.com/badboybx130/profile.html. Scroll down the page until you see the pictures module. Pretty neat effect, isn't it?
How does he do that, you ask? Well, as Dr Dzoe is more curious than any cat, he went peering through the page's HTML to find out.
BadBoyBx130 set an animated GIF as the background image of his module. (Yeah, I know - I haven't covered how to set background images on modules yet. That's coming soon - but Bad Boy BX didn't need to be told.) His background image is the following:
See how it rotates? Want to do something like that yourself? Get a friendly computer image geek to help you out - it's not hard with the right software.
Next, Bad Boy BX set a background color of red, to set the color as he wants it. (Further up, in the how-to-build module, he used the same background image. Only there, he set the background color to green.) That combines with the picture module's built-in scrolling pictures effect to make it look like the pictures are rolling across on top of the medallions. Which is exceedingly cool.
If you like it, go to Bad Boy BX's profile and leave him a nice comment. Tell him that Dr Dzoe sent you!

Great blog. I linked it to the Community Forum AIM Page so that others may created cool modules.
