The HTML line for the background color and text link colors of this page is:
<body bgcolor="#ccccff" text="#820082" link="#8200ff" alink="#820000" vlink="#ff0000">
You can just copy-and-paste that line into your editor, overwriting the plain <body> tag. If you don't like the color combinations, go to Color Chart and choose your own.
Otherwise, here is the code for a sample HTML page of text. I've given codes for 6 paragraphs, so add and delete extra lines as desired. Notes in ALL CAPITALS need to be overwritten with your own text in the appropriate upper- and lowercase manner.
This is what the page will look like, with the <body> color line from above added in: Click.
