Lilly's guide to Html

Html is a mark-up cdde for the web.

Html is not difficult-- but the prooblem is that there are rules that have to be followed and if you forget to follow these rules by going too fast, then you page comes out sucky looking.

You'll also find that it requires a lot of trial and error to get your page to come out all nice looking.

With that said, let's looke at the bare minimum tags for an html page:

They are:
<html>

<body>

</body>

</html>

Notice that each set of codes begins and ends with a set of brackets.

There are rare exceptions but the general rule is whenver you begin something in brackets, it also needs and end.

Getting Fancy, Step one-- bgcolor

You can change the entire color of the page by the bgcolor tag. It goes like this:

<body bgcolor="000000">
the bgcolor command tells the page what color to be displayed plus the hexadecimal code for the color.

In general, you will use bgcolor="000000" for black, or "ffffff"> for white, but you can literally use dozens of colors.
