Some HTML:

Tags:

Tags are the html (hyper text markup language) code commands that makes the computer know what you want it to display on your page. All html command codes are put between less-than and greater-than( < >)symbols. Done properly, tag lines between these symbols(< >) shouldn't show up on your finished page.
Most 'tags' (code commands) have a beginning < and ending /> code. Codes such as the 'Center' command have to be ended or the remaining whole page will be centered, even if you don't want it to be.
So, to center something you would have to use these tags:
<center> and </center>

Headlines, Titles, & Font Sizes:

H1, H2, H3, H4, are the sizes of "Headlines" and by using these you will get very large bold text to smaller bold text.

Here is a sentence using H1 size text, then

switching to H2 size, which is smaller,

but not as small as H3, and not to be

confused with H4!

Those sizes are for use in titles, and whenever you want bolder text. They start out with the biggest being 1, and get smaller in ascending order.
Regular Font sizes start out with the smallest being 1 and get larger in ascending order. So a large font would be like a 4 or 5. (higher if you want)

Here is an example of font sizes:

SIZE 1:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
SIZE 2:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
SIZE 3:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
SIZE 4:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
SIZE 5:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
SIZE 6:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

You can see that size 6 is about as big as H1, but not as bold!
You can choose to make any word or phrase larger and bolder within a sentence by using font size tags, or a simpler way to do this is to just use the "bold" tag.
An example of the bold tag is in this sentence.
The tag for making things bold is simply <b> before the word and </b> after the word. It's simple.

Making Links Work:

To make a working link on your page, you will need the following code:
<a href="http://www.xxxx.com">

Where xxxx is the address of the page you want to link to.
the whole code would look like this: < a href="http://www.xxxx.com">A link to another place</a>
It is important that whenever you start a code line with <a you have to end it later with </a>. In the case of a link, you can put something between the last "> and the </a> and that writing, address, or graphic will become the link.
Examples:
Click here! Do it! it works!
The code line for that would look like this:
<a href="https://www.angelfire.com/ca/sewclass/bb.html">Click here!</a>

Click

here!
Seriously, click on the heart, it works!
The code for this would look like this: <a href="https://www.angelfire.com/ca/sewclass/bb.html">Click<img src="/ca/sewclass/images/heartanim.gif">here!</a>

Pictures & graphics

To put a picture into your website you must first have the picture uploaded to your file directory. Using Angelfire's free home pages, this is very easy. If you are not a member of Angelfire, you may have to use an FTP (file transfer protocol) server to upload pictures and graphics. This is a little trickier, but works. To download a free ftp server, go to download.com.
Once the picture is in your directory, you must write html (hyper transfer markup language) to make it stay where you want it on your page.
The html code for a picture or graphic would be:
<img src="http://www.OOOOOO/XXX/AAA.bbb">
To make this fit your picture make the following substitutions to this code:
1. OOOOOO/XXX = your directory URL or internet address (ex: www.angelfire.com)
2. AAA.= your picture's name as it is listed in your directory list (ex: garden.jpg)
3. bbb= your picture's format (ex: gif, tif, jpg or other)
So to put up this picture:

I would have to put in this code:

<img src="https://www.angelfire.com/ca/sewclass/images/aff.gif" align=left>

The code basically is telling the computer where to get the picture from, or it's 'source'. So img src= means "image source is" then the next part of the code tells the computer where that is, namely your image directory.
(in my case my URL:https://www.angelfire.com/ca/sewclass/images/)
The last part of the code is the actual name of the picture as it is called in your directory. (in this case aff.gif)
