 * I suppose this is a simple thing, but…
    I’ve got this in my stylesheet:
 *     ```
       body {
       	margin:0;
       	background-image:url(/background.jpg);
       	color:#B65D41;
       	font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
       	font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
       	text-align:center;
       }
       ```
   
 * The background.jpg is a small image that I ’tile’, but before it loads, the area
   where it appears is white for a fraction of a second and not #B65D41 like I intend.
   Does that happen because the browser doesn’t read the background colour fast 
   enough (just as fast as the image that is) or should I change the stylesheet 
   a little? The colours in the header, sidebar and footer are there immediately
   and I would like the rest of the page not to be a white flash before everything
   loads. Would the position of the background colour or the entire body part in
   the stylesheet make any difference?
 * (It’s a small thing, I know.)

 * Thanks.
    Stupid me, I thought that the “color” referred to the “body”, but that’s
   of course the text in the body.
