Using moss

I have quite a bit of java moss in my tank, and I'm at a bit of a loss on where/how to use it. 

Does anyone have any favourite inspiration photos bookmarked that they could share? 

I have wood I could attach it to, was thinking of tying it around the lower parts to start?  I don't want to completely obscure the wood.

Also, to keep it compact with more branches, and less long stringy sections, should I be cropping it often? 

Thanks as always for any help!

Peekay,

I attached mine to my pieces of wood.  You can also tie it down to rocks.  I use fine fishing line, you can even attach the moss to plastic mesh and build a wall.  Google aquatic moss wall and you will see many results

Here is a link with, I think, are some of the nicest setups. http://flickrhivemind.net/Tags/plantedtank/Interesting and this 1 has moss on the diftwood http://www.flickr.com/photos/83887847@N00/2945811564
