Next the Title tag. This tag goes in between you head tags. So it should look like this. IT is also easier to space thing out so when you go back to fix the tags they will be easier to find so it looks like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>this is where you would type your title
</title>
</head>
Now you have to create the main part of you page which is called the body. You create a body tag like this
<body>
and close it with
</body>
Inside the body Tag goes your text. So now your page should look like this
<html>
<head>
<title>YOUR TITLE </title>
</head>
<body>
your text and links will now go in here
</body>
</html>
Now for colors
Every tag has an attribute and value in this case for changeing font color you type in:
<font color="color">
"font color" would be you attribute and ="color" is your value.
you always place " " quotation marks around the value. It is not necessarly needed for HTML but for DHTML and Java and all the other languages it is need so if you get in the habit of it now you do now have to learn it all over again in the future.
the Value can be in three different way but you still get the same effect: There is the hexadecimal which is like #84000 or you could just name the color maroon.

Tables
<table>
you add more attributes like:
< table border=2 width=700 cellspacing=10 cellpadding=5 align=center color=red bgcolor=blue >
there are many attributes to add to adjust and customize your table and or site. Tables are used a lot when making web site some use tables for the whole layout of their page.
<tr> </tr> starts a table row
<td> </td> starts a table column. why isn't it tc for table column I don't know but td stands for table data.
Just as you could add attribute to the table you can add the same attributes to the rows and columns. You can even put a table with in a table
<table align="center" border=2 color=red>
<tr>
<td> here is where you would enter text, pictures, and information for your viewers </td>
<td> here is where you would enter text, pictures, and information for your viewers </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table color=blue border=2>
<tr>
<td> here is the second table </td>
<td> here is the second table </td>
</tr> </table> </td>
<tr>
<td> her is the first table again </td>
</tr>
</table>
you could copy and paste that into your website and mess around with it for a while to get a feel for it.
