Hello. I'm here to try to help you with that one HTML thing you can't seem to get. If you need more help than I can give you here, check out html_help's Home Page. It is great. I learned a lot there myself. Andy Art Attack also has great HTML tips, along with other tips too. If you can't find something on this site, or the other ones I've told you, you're better sign up for a class!
Here are the topics I am help you on:

Use the same HTML tag for a regular link:
<a href="https://members.tripod.com/~lil_fishie/index.html">
Then add the picture:
<img src="nichole2.gif">
And close the link with:
</a>
And now the whole link will look like this:
<a href="https://members.tripod.com/~lil_fishie/index.html"><img src="nichole2.gif"></a>
And now this will show up:
And how the whole HTML tag for the link would be:
<a href="https://members.tripod.com/~lil_fishie/index.html"><img src="nichole2.gif" border="0"></a>
To add a link to your e-mail address, you would use this tag:
<a href="mailto:you@yourdomain.com">Email me</a>
That is it.
Q: How do I add background images?
To add a background image, in the <body> HTML tag, you take out BGCOLOR="color" tag and then add this tag:
background="filename.gif"
The body tag also has your text color, link color, and visited link color in it.

Q: How do I change the color of my text?
Before the text you want to change the color of, you add this HTML:
<font color="colorname/code">
Then after the text you want to change is finished, you use this code:
</font>
to end it.
Q: How do I change the size of my text? Before the text you want to change, add this HTML: <font size="number">
And once you don't want it that size anymore, you finish with:
</font>
This tag may be combined in the same <font> tag as the color one above. The finished HTML would look like this:
<font color="colorname/code" size="number">
And still end with just one </font>
Q: How do I change the size of headlines?
Use the tags
<h1></h1> through <h5></h5>
an example of each would be:
The size of headlines can also be changed by changing the size of the font if you can't get the right size with these tags.
Q: How do I add horizontal lines like the ones you have on here?
Just add this tag where you want the line:
<HR>
Simple isn't it?
Q: How do I add paragraph breaks?
To make space between each paragraph, you use:
<p>
And this is what happens:
Hello. My name is Nichole.
I love to play soccer.
To have no line between each paragraph, you use:
<br>
And this happens:
Hello. My name is Nichole.
I love to play soccer.
