Basics and adding titles
The BODY Protocol and a basic introduction to colours
Firstly I nedd to teach you how to walk before you can run.
The first rule to learn is;
All HTML documents begin with;
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
and end with;
</BODY>
</HTML>
You need to learn how to insert the text that is shown on the titlebar on the document, that goes in between the 2 fields labelled;
"<TITLE>" and "</TITLE>"
For example, the one that goes with this page is;
"<TITLE>How To Do HTML</TITLE>"
Now that you've learned the basics, now you need to know how to insert text into your document, this is the easiest thing to do overall, all you do is type in the text between the 2 "<BODY>" fields. For example;
"<BODY>
Text
</BODY>"

Next you need to learn how to add variety to your pages compared with the windows defaults by changing text, background and link colours, this is done by inserting the correct commands in the "<body>" section, you will need to learn the more extensive color lists in hexedecimal form, black being "#000000" and white being "#FFFFFF" and all other colours in between being a combination of numbers and letters from 0 to 9 and A to F, you can also substitute basic colours with their name instead of using hexadecimal, for example substituting "#FFFFFF" with "WHITE", "#000000" with "BLACK" and even "#FFD700" with "GOLD".
The code I have used for this page is;
"<BODY BGCOLOR=#000000 FONT=#FFFFFF LINK=#FFD700 ALINK=#808000 VLINK=#FFD700>"
This binary code can be replaced with
"<BODY BGCOLOR=BLACK FONT=WHITE LINK=GOLD ALINK=OLIVE VLINK=GOLD>"
