HTML Background

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>title of your page</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="red" TEXT="yellow" LINK="white" VLINK="gray" ALINK="green">

<P> There are two features used in the body of your HTML.  The <P> and the <BR>.   The <P> is a paragraph break and puts an extra line between paragraphs.  The <BR> is a line break.  The <BR> does not have a closing (</BR>). </P>

<P> If you wanted to type a poem, you could put: </P>

Roses are red, <br>
Violets are blue, <br>
Sugar is sweet, <br>
and so are you.  <br>
</BODY>
<HTML>

You can set the attributes for your entire page by using
BGCOLOR, TEXT, LINK, VLINK, ALINK
within the <> for the BODY tag, where:

BGCOLOR is the color you want your background

TEXT is the color you want the text in your page

LINK is the color you want your links to be

VLINK is the color you want the visited links to be

ALINK is the color you want the link to briefly turn when they are first clicked on

You could also use an image for your background by using:

<BODY BACKGROUND="nameofpicture.gif">

COMMENTS (in other words, documentation) for your HTML.  Use:

<COMMENT><!-- put your remarks here --></COMMENT>

Start NOW to document your pages so that when you go back to them, those tricky items like tables within tables within tables won't come back to haunt you!  Anything between <COMMENT> AND </COMMENT> will not show up on your page.  You will only see it if you view the source for the page.
