I've created a number of pages for my agency's website recently.  Its a very
big agency with some very touchy IT people.  Yesterday one of them showed me
my recently created webpage on her screen.  The background was grey.  I said
"that's not right.  I made the background white."  Nope.  The background on
my browser is white so I thought what I was seeing was what others would
see.  Instead once it was on the server it defaulted to grey because I'd
failed to set the background colour.  How embarassing.

This was a tough way to learn how to set the background colour within the
body tag but I guarantee I'll never forget it.
