If you'd rather skip all the work of making a page yourself, though actually once you know all the codes, which are easy to learn, it's fun! But anyway, click here to find out how to have me make a page for you. It's free, because I enjoy doing it.
Tags are things like <TITLE> and <BR>. Some need an end tag to go with them, like if you Bold text for a word or two, you'd put <B>Here's the bold text.</B>. The </B> tag ends the bold text. Just like <A HREF="link.html">Your link is here.</A> If you don't have the </A> then the link would keep going until the end of the page, or until you have another link tag. Others don't need an end tag, like:
Images
have tags also. If you wanted this picture here-
on your page, you'd put
<IMG
SRC="gbutterfly.gif"> This doesn't have an end tag like the link and Bold
tags. Background images are here.
Links
also, of course, have tags. Link tags look like this-<"A HREF="index.html">Then
the page saved as index.html would have it's link here. You need to type
something in between the <A HREF> and </A> tags, or your link won't
show up. Then to end a link you need the </A> tag.
Your
notepad, which I use, or whatever program you use, should look somewhat
like this, if you use all the tags I gave you and more:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>YOUR
TITLE HERE!</TITLE></HEAD><BODY BGCOLOR="GREEN"
BACKGROUND="yourbackgroundimage.gif or .jpg or .jpeg" ALINK="BLACK" VLINK="PINK"
LINK="ORANGE"><CENTER>(<CENTER>
isn't needed, but it centerizes every thing on the page until the end of
the page, or the </CENTER> tag.)<TABLE
BORDER=5 WIDTH="700" ><TR><TD><CENTER><FONT FACE="COMIC SANS
MS" COLOR="YELLOW" SIZE=5>YOUR TEXT HERE.
YOU CAN CHANGE THE FONT FACE, SIZE, OR COLOR AT ANY TIME BY USING THE <FONT
FACE> OR <FONT
SIZE> OR <FONT
COLOR> TAG/S. YOU CAN PUT A LINK OR IMAGE
IN ANY PLACE YOU WANT.
</FONT></CENTER></TD></TR></TABLE></BODY></HTML>

Any questions, email me.
When
you use an end tag, you must go in the order you began them, but backwards.
It's confusing but you get used to it. So if you use the <I> tag for
Italic text, and then the <B> tag for Bold, you would go-
<I>WORDS<B>MORE
WORDS</B></I>
Understand?
