The most important thing to know, when making a Web Page , is how to copy and paste Make A Folder on your Desktop to keep all your information in You should also keep any Pictures, Music Files, or anything else you want on your Web Page You can make a Folder right now.. Heres how.. Minimize this page When you get to your Desktop, Right Click on any bare space. Select New/ "Folder.. You can name this Folder to anything you choose. I Suggest you name it Web Page When you're Finished, on your Task bar on the bottom of your Screen, you will see your Browser for Chat Room. Click on it, you will be back in this room. Put everything you want on your Web Page in this Folder. Pictures, Music, Backgrounds and anything else you want on your page. Great place for Triple Backgrounds is Here Backgrounds It even gives you the HTML to make the background. Its nice for the beginner. Heck, they are nice for anyone. You have a choice. If you like the background, save it. If not, start over until you find one you like. Remember to save all the files to your Folder Follow the instructions for downloading the necessary files. Copy & Paste the HTML to notepad ******************************************************************************* To Set your Background,text,link,Vlink colors, Use this Tag, Change to color of your choice, also use these bracket at the beginning of BODY and at the end of VLINK="#6600CC < > < before BODY BGCOLOR="# You will find Color Codes here: Text Colors Color Codes BODY BGCOLOR="#F5DEB3" TEXT="#990000" LINK="#FF00CC" VLINK="#6600CC" B for Bold Text Yep ! You got it. Enclose the B in these brackets < > Bold Anything enclosed in these brackets will not show on your Web Page BR Break drops down one line CENTER Centers Text or Images on Page also enclosed with the < > brackets unless it has a URL of its on, like your Picture Always put a Break after A picture or Line of Text Pics on your page Heres how to put a Picture on your Web Page: Use this tag enclosed in the < > brackets IMG SRC="/image.gif" Insert the name of the Pic you uploaded after erasing , image IMG stands for "image." It announces to the browser that an image will go here on the page. Yes, the image will pop up right where you write in the image tag. SRC stands for "source." This again is an attribute, a command inside a command. It's telling the browser where to go to find the image. Again, it's best for you to place the images you want to use in the same directory as the page. This way you can call for the image by name alone. If you start to place your images all over the place, you'll have to start adding directories and sub-directories to the SRC attribute. And at this point, that is way too confusing. Just place the image in the same place as the HTML document that will call for it and then call for the image by name alone. You can get fancy later. Right now, let's just get it to work. image.gif is the name of the image. Notice it's following the same type of format as your HTML documents. There is a name (image) then a dot and then there is a suffix (gif). ************************************************************************* Creating A Hypertext Link A stands for Anchor. It begins the link to another page. HREF stands for Hypertext REFerence. That's a nice, short way of saying to the browser, "This is where the link is going to go." /A ends the entire link command. Example Click Here For Next Page Substitute Your own URL for mine ************************************************************************** You need to learn is how to bring up your Notepad, if you don't know how.
