Basic tags
The Basic Formats that apply to just about every webpage are:
<![CDATA[
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>The Title would go here</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Your webpage body will go here, along with all the other commands that
we will learn, they manipulate on how your webpage will look.
</BODY>
</HTML>
]]>
Note- You start a TAG with <> two arrows, to end the command, you end it with a </> the commands
go inside the arrows, if you start a command for example, a CENTER tag, you will type
<![CDATA[<CENTER>Some text here</CENTER> ]]>
That will produce this;
Some text here
you centered the text, and you stopped the centering with a /. If you do not close a command, such as
a CENTER tag, it will continue centering everything, which will be very uncomfortable with your
creation of webpages! Inside the BODY tag, you can add many things like this;
<BODY BGCOLOR="white" BACKGROUND="back.gif" LINK="blue" VLINK="purple" TEXT="BLACK">
BGCOLOR is a simple color, white is fine if you specify a BACKGROUND, the BGCOLOR will not be used
anyways, the BACKGROUND is a picture
you add to the back of your webpages, there's a special section with 98 backgrounds for your website
coming up soon. If you put back.gif in the "" marks fot BACKGROUND, make sure the back.gif file is
in your directory, if it is not, then you have to type in the full address of the location of the
background, for example, BACKGROUND="https://members.tripod.com/~bond_bond/back.gif" (that goes in the BODY tag).
LINK="blue" tells your browser to put all links in blue, this is if you do not specify a color
for a specific link, VLINK="purple" gives a visited link text a purple color so people already
know what they have and have not visited, TEXT="black" writes the text in black if it is not already
specified by you.
