Home Page Building

Ok,,, building a home page is really pretty easy,,, especially if you go thru something like Angelfire, Yahoo, or one of the other HomePage sites. They will handle all the basic stuff for you,,, the codes, fonts, etc.

The whole thing is in the codes... I suggest you go to HTML made easy,, he has a lot of codes that really make your page special. And is much better at explaining HTML than I am.

Another way to pick up codes, is to go to veiw at the top of your page,, then go down to SOURCE,, there it is.. all written out,, the codes they had used to make their page... pretty interesting actually,,, cause it will work on ANY web page.

But to make a few things easy,,, here are some basic codes for you to copy and then just put on your sheet.


This code will make it so that you can have non-stop music on the page that you put this code on. Just put your own WAV. in the part where it says you_own.wav. Make sure that you have your music uploaded into your images file on your home page editor.

<EMBED SRC="images/your_own.wav" autostart="true" 
 width="143" height="43" loop="true" volume=100 hidden="true">


Now to put a picture on your site,,, you will need this code. Upload the image you want into your images on your homepage editor,,(you must always have it in there for the code to be able to find it). Then insert your own address in where it says your_address,,, and insert the name of your image in were it says your_image. SPELLING MUST ALWAYS BE EXACT. Remember computors ONLY do what you tell them to,, and if your spelling isn't EXACT... it has no IDEA what you are trying to tell it. Your image may be a jpg. or a gif. Make sure that you have that put in correctly.

<img src="/your_address/images/your_image.gif">


Ok, some simple codes that you will use over and over. AND I DO MEAN OVER AND OVER! LOLOLOLOL I am using them constantly just typing this.


<p>

This code is to make it jump down to the next paragraph, so that your writing or pictures will have ONE line between them.


<hr>

This will put a thin horizontal line for you.


<center>

YOUR IMAGE OR TEXT

</center>

This will center your text or image.


<left>

YOUR IMAGE OR TEXT

</left>

This will put your text or image to the left.


<right>

YOUR IMAGE OR TEXT

</right>

YEP. This will put your text or image to the right.


<br>

This will start a new line for you, without having to start a whole new paragraph.


It is really easy to use ANY image on your homepage. If your cruising the web, and you see a picture you like,,, or an image,,, just right click on it. then click SAVE AS...... put it in place you KNOW you will find again. LOL make a folder in MY DOCUMENTS. That is the easiest. And just save your picture to it. Then all you have to do is upload it to your images in your homepage editor.


<a 
<href="http://www.your_address">>
Where you want to go
</a>

This is a Link command. Just put in the
address that you want the person to go in the "your_address"..
and what you want to call the place they are going in the
"where you want to go".


This should get you on a good start on building your own page,, especially
if you stick with the basic editor.
Don't go to the advanced till you are ready to take
on putting in EVERY single code by hand.
It's really easy to do,,, but it can be time
consuming and at time, confusing. LOL

Have fun building your page!
