LESSON 2

The first thing you might notice on this page is that it has color and a bit more style. This is what you'll be learning to do.

The first thing you'll want to know is how to get color. To do this you will use color codes. You will need a reference to a chart. There are several available. Click here for the one I use.

OK, now you have the chart so how do you use it?

We will put in a background color first. To do this you will put it into your BODY tag area. I used some odd colors here just for example purposes. The way you do this is:

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FF9999">

Next you'll want to choose your text color, the method is similar:
<TEXT="#AA0000">

Ok, now how about links to other things, like the one I gave you for the color chart. Again, it is similar:
<LINK="#00EE00">

Finally, the one for a visited link, again similar in nature:
<VLINK="#9900FF">

Good! Now you know how to get color! But how about some other neat things to do with your text?

Want it to be in italics? These tags you use in pairs again:
<i> the text you want in italics goes in
this space with the end tag</i>

You may have also noticed that the text on this page is bolder. That was done using the pair of tags for bold print which are:
<b> the text you want bold goes in this space
with the end tag </b>

How about a large Title? This is done with header tags..again used in pairs. What goes in the pairs depends on the size you want. The title, LESSON 2 is header1

This is the list from large to small.

HEADER1 is <H1>your text</H1>


        
HEADER2 is <H2>your text</H2>


        
HEADER3 is <H3>your text</H3>


        
HEADER4 is <H4>your text</H4>


        
HEADER5 is <H5>your text</H5>

and so on


The last pair of tags you want to know about is the align tags. These are used to align your text. You don't need one for left, text is automatically aligned left by default The pairs are:

<CENTER>Your text</CENTER>

<P ALIGN=RIGHT>Your text </P>



Now let's add some more fun in lesson 3 with images.
