ok, just a top scroll.  We have one more for lesson 3 after this, then maybe we might get more interesting. <g> I want to try and get all parts in thsi week so we can start a challenge at the weekend
 
Shopping list for this is a background, and an image that you can make in psp.  To do what I did, make a new image twice the width of the graphic you choose(you dont want it any wider than 250-300 really).  Make a copy of your image, and mirror it, edit/copy/paste both into your new image, line them up and save as a new image jpg.. Please do not use a bottom frame or any kind of frame in this tutorial.  you will be adding a scroll at the bottom in the next tut
 
Insert a positioned container, left, right, top, bottom at 0
(In case you wonder, I always do this on plain stats, the reason will become clearer as you get into your lessons.  It also ensures everything is 'contained')
 
    Insert your background, accept default settings.
           Insert pos container, let it nest, set left and right 0, top 0 size 20
             Insert top border scroll, using your new image.  scroll if
              you want or not.

as a guide my image is 317 high, so my message area settings are  left 30, right 30 , top 380, bottom 30
