JONI'S "E_Z" HTML FOR
WEBTV PAGE7

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN WEBPAGE-
THE
"E_Z"
WAY!
So, by now, you have
the coolest email signature out there, and you
have a pretty good idea of how to do a little
HTML.
Feeling up to making a webpage? Why not?
It could be a personal page, with just your own
info, or, maybe, you have a business that you'd
like to advertise on the web.Perhaps, you just
want to tell the world all about your cat, "Mr.
Fuzzy"...whatever! That's the point, it's
YOUR page, and can be WHATEVER you
want!
To begin with, ALL HTML documents,
from the most high-tech, Silicon Valley major
company's website, to your lowly; "Meet Mr.
Fuzzy", all start out with the same thing-
HTML!
So, the first thing
that goes into your text box is
ALWAYS
<HTML>
The
last thing that goes into your text
box is ALWAYS
</HTML>
Your entire document goes
between these tags! EVERYTHING, no matter
how many graphics, sounds, how much text you
write- it all goes here! You only use ONE
set of HTML tags per page! (This is just like
doing your email signature, only think
"Bigger"!)
OK, the Next
thing, right after the opening <HTML>
is
<HEAD>, so your box should look
like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
Now, you give your page a title, like
this:
<TITLE>MEET MR.
FUZZY!</TITLE>
(This
immediately follows the <HEAD>)
OK, now
you add your META TAGS. META
TAGS tell other browsers important
information about your page, and help search
engines find & catagorize your page.
These go
right after the </TITLE>:
<META
NAME="description"content="This is a page all
about my cat, Mr. Fuzzy.">
<META
NAME="keywords"content="Cats,Fuzzy,Feline,Finicky
">
You can change the title,
description, and keywords to suit your page, of
course!
OK, Now you add your <BODY> tag. This can
be either a simple background & text color, or
you can embed a GIF or JPG background.
If you don't remember how
to do this, go back to Page 6,"HOW TO CHANGE
BACKGROUNDS", now!
By now, your
text box should look something like
this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>MEET MR.
FUZZY!</TITLE>
<META
NAME="description"content="This is a page all
about my cat, Mr. Fuzzy.">
<META
NAME="keywords"content="Cats,Fuzzy,Feline,Finicky
">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<BODY
BGCOLOR="yellow"TEXT="red">
Now, you can begin your text, or embed a
picture.

If you don't remember how to do this, go back to Page 2,"HOW TO ADD
PICTURES",now!
You may also
want to add some background music.
(Does Mr. Fuzzy have a favorite song?
Hmmm..."Cats In The Cradle" perhaps?)
If you don't remember how to do this, go back to Page 4, "HOW TO ADD
MUSIC",now!
OK, now all you
have to do is type in your text...Whatever you
want to say, as much as you want.
Add all
your graphics...Whatever you want, as much as you
want.
When you are done saying what you
want to say, you must add a </BODY> to tie all
your elements together.
Finally, as I said before, the LAST thing that goes
into your page is ALWAYS the </HTML>
By now, your text box should look something like
this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>MEET MR.
FUZZY!</TITLE>
<META
NAME="description"content="This is a page all
about my cat, Mr. Fuzzy.">
<META
NAME="keywords"content="Cats,Fuzzy,Feline,Finicky
">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<BODY
BGCOLOR="yellow"TEXT="red">
ALL YOUR TEXT & IMAGES SHOULD BE TYPED IN
HERE
</BODY>
</HTML>
Check through your own text, just to
make sure that everything is the way that you
want it, then, simply publish your
page,
(On most HTML Editors, hit "Save", or
"Use This HTML")
and, you are DONE!
CONGRATULATIONS! You did it! You
made your first webpage!
Mr. Fuzzy
would be proud!
By now, you may be saying;"But I can't do all that typing! I don't know how! I'm too slow, I'll never remember all that! Come on, Joni, isn't there an EASIER way?"
What, are you
STILL
confused? OK,OK! Here is a Simple Webpage
Setup that you can
Cut &
Paste
right into your text box, to get you
started! Just change the title, description, and
other related info to suit your own page, add
what you want, & that's it!. I've done all the
"hard stuff" for you! What could be easier?
Oh, & by the way, if you think that I'm coming over to your house to do your dishes, too- forget it! I'm giving you all this, the rest is up to you! Have fun!:-)
NOTE: This is pretty much a
standard, "Bare Bones" kind of webpage
setup, designed for a Total Beginner.
There are many other elements of style, such as FONT
FACES, and EMBED codes, that can be added to it,
if you like, when you have a better grasp on
HTML. You can customize it however you like. If
you want,remember to change the BGCOLOR to BACKGROUND, if
you will be using a GIF or JPG background for
your page. It's also a good idea to add an additional BGCOLOR to a page that has a GIF or JPG background, just in case some browsers cannot view it. All WebTV users can usually see all other WebTV user's colors & backgrounds, but some computer users cannot. Just make sure to use a color that is similar to your GIF or JPG, so that your text will show up clearly.
