Put the Title of your page here

This is where the text goes. You can write anything you want. Just put

at the end of the paragraph and it will divide the text just like this will do when it is shown as a page on the Internet.

Above, you see where the Title is written way at the top. This is for the computer to use when someone saves this page to their bookmarks.

Down lower, you put your title again, so people visiting your page can read it.

You also see the letter BR insite the brackets. This is a line break, and will cause a space between lines--similar to a paragraph break. It is used for putting space above and below graphics or title lines.

You can also see the the line above where the text and link colors go. Most common colors can be written as real words. Unusual colors have to be written in number code which we will get to at another time.

There is also a Background="" place. If you put the file name of a background in between the " " your page will display the background of your choice. Just be very careful that the background does not make it impossible to read your text.

A background can be lifted the same way as a graphic, except it will have you Save Background AS rather than Save Image As.

Just below here, you will find the code for the E-mail link. Below that is the code for the link to GeoCities. Just put the GeoCities Graphic you choose in the space provided. You will see the code Border=0 after the graphic space. This will remove the ugly box which appears around the graphic when it is used as a link. You can add this Border=0 to any graphic link code and it will do the same thing.

There is one more thing you have to learn. When you are making a homepage, you will want to have several pages "linked" together so people can see a great deal about your site, without slowing down the time to load the pages. To do this, first create the pages. For example, we will assume you created a page called index.html and another on called aboutme.html and you want people to click on a link on the index.html page to go to read the other page.

To do this, Add this code to the index.html page:

About Me
and this code to the aboutme.html page
Main Page
You can link as many pages together as you wish using this method. It is helpful to put a complete list of all the pages of your site on each page so people can easily click from one area to another.

You may wonder if it is necessary to use capital letters inside the brackets for the code. It is NOT required. And they do not have to be all the same within a document.
