March 01, 2006--HTML 4
Hello again; I hope you had fun playing with the last set of text commands for your emails.
I have said before and want to repeat here that most of the HTML you are learning to write for emails will be used exactly in the same way if you decide to write a webpage.
At this time, I want to tell you a few little details before I forget to do so.
When you want to change the size of your font, you can use numbers 1 to 7.for example,
Size 7
would look like this.
and size 1
would look like this. You can use pixels also when you set the size of fonts. We'll discuss that some other time.
Sometimes you will want a headline at the top of what you are writing; you can make these various sizes also.
<h1>write here</h1>
will give this size
<h6>write here</h6>
will give this size
Ok, you remember in the last post I said that <p> starts a paragraph; ok if you would like to align your text to the left, the right or in the center, all you need is:
<p align=left or right or center>
If, by now, you have color cop, and have played with it a bit, you might be wondering what the letters RGB stand for.R means red,G means green,and B means blue; they are each given a value to make the specific color.
If you want to include a link, write:
<a href="http://.....">click here</a>
You don't always have to put click here...(this is the part that will show on your page); You can write a descriptive word or the name of the site.
If you would like to include a mailing address, write:
<a href="mailto:.....">.......</a>
It will look like this on your page (the email address is fictitious)
Ok there is one last thing I want to discuss today:
There is a lovely little tag in HTML that gives you all kinds of control; it is the "DIV"; it means Division;
The tag is like this:<DIV>A picture, words,etc</DIV>
Using the DIV permits you to isolate whatever it is you want to position. You can have as many DIV's as you want on a page. For example, as I write the HTML for these blogs, most of the time, I align left, but all of a sudden there is something I want to align center...I use a DIV; it's quick, easy and dependable.That is exactly what I did for the mail me up above. There is much more to be said about the DIV, but suffice it for now.
I hope you can use these; the more I write these, the more I realize how they all apply to webpages.
We'll have to talk about that some day.
Ciao for now.
