They are two animated upward rolling signs with the words welcome in colorful letters on a black background. One on each side of the name of this site, such a Site. Also, there is a multi-color flashing decorative bar of lights below my narrative that is also right above the Table of topics. Then below the table is a bar of a reddish colored glass horizontal decorative bar .  Then a decorative chrome bar is right above the starting of the list of links for this website. As soon as I can apply the appropriate html code to these objects, I will remove this explanation as the graphics will then read what they are when the screen reading programs  move over them.
