Hope you understood part 1!!!

So you want to build a home page/web site? Well here are the two free home page providers that I recomend and use. "TRIPOD" I use this site to mostly store my files/images.. I'll get into that later.

And next we have ANGLEFIRE Which I am using now! VERY easy to work with and build pages on! Now that..that's out of the way...let's get to work!

This is an old page, I made it in 1999. I no longer use Tripod or Angelfire, but you can! I have my own domain: RoughKut.com. You can get a domain name at directnic.com or godaddy.com. They even host your pages and images now. You can also host your website on a host outside of the place where you bought your domain name. Do an online search for "Web Hosts". You'll find thousands of them.

Keep in mind: Getting a domain name ONLY gets you the domain name. It doesn't mean you'll have a place to store all of your images and webpages. Some domain websites will host your files for you. Some wont. You will have two charges to ponder. The yearly cost of buying your domain name and the monthy cost of your file hosting. You can get both pretty cheap now-a-days.

Now that you have learned how to change text appearance and build tables.. Let's learn how to manipulate text.

blue blue

yellow yellow

orange orange

red red

You get the hint lol. Anyway, there are MANY more colors to choose from, you can find them by clicking (here)!

You can also use the "hex code" for colors or instead of typing "blue"...you will type #0000ff. Good luck!!

And further more:

Makes

a paragragh

break or line break for text.

Makes a line break in your HTML text area. So you can put something on a new line
 like
 this
 or
 this

<HR>

Makes a line across the area/screen

You can change the size and width of this one: <HR SIZE="5" WIDTH="200">

Are you ready for the good stuff?

<A HREF="url"></A> Use this to link something like I linked the TRIPOD and ROUGHKUT sites. <A HREF="http://angelfire.com">ANGELFIRE </A>

Would get you: ANGELFIRE

REMEMBER: To always close the <A HREF="URL"> tag with a </A> Or everything else after that link will be linked too!!

BY the way "url" Means the address of a site including "http://www.blah.com". NEVER forget the "http://" Get it? Good!

Well the time has come.. I think you are ready! No... I KNOW you are ready to build your own webpage on the'ol WWW!! Let's give it a try...

THE FIRST thing that should be at the top of your page editor text area is. You can use Notepad or Wordpad or the editor that your webhost provided you with.

<HTML>

Anything above that will make the html script not work at all..

The next thing you SHOULD use is

<HEAD>

This tells your browser that you want this to be seen FIRST. You follow me? Great!

THEN you should have a title for your webpage.. look at the bottom of your screen do you see something like "I hope you understood the first part" ? That is the title. You put that between the head tag! So far your editor should look like this:

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE> This is the title of my page!! </TITLE>

<BODY> THIS IS WHERE MY HTML TAGS, IMAGES, TABLES AND EVERYTHING ELSE GOES</BODY>

</HEAD>

</HTML>

Then you want to add your background color! Ok, just pay attention..

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE> This is the title of my page!! </TITLE>

</HEAD>

</HTML>

Let's quickly go over the body tag rules:

BODY BGCOLOR="tan" (this is the background color of the entire webpage
BODY TEXT="111111" (This is the color I chose for the text on this page, you can use either the HEX number chart or you can use the name of the color. Click here for a color chart [color chart]
BODY LINK="purple" (That's the color I chose for the links)
BODY VLINK="blue" (That's called the "visited link". It gives you a different color after you've clicked on a link already.

The you may even want to spice up your site with some cool images... This is how you make them appear!!

That gets you:

A cool brand logo.

And remember to put the full url of the image!!

<IMG SRC="url"> You don't need to close all tags after all.

ROUGHKUT's basic html	WARP SPEED's html directory.. (Very good site)
My e-wrestler's page	My poetry site!!	My e-fed "I also designed this one.
