How to link to other pages / sites
First lets look at an example
<a href="full link url">Description</a>
The "a" shows that it is link, the "href" bit is where you want to link to.
Please note you must include the "http://" part of the address.
I have set up a program to do this for you. To start it Click here
You can also add text to be shown when the mouse is over the link by adding
the "title" command. So your link now looks like this.
<a href="full link URL" title="mouse over
description">Were to click</a>
That will give you something that looks like this Tutorials Home
You see that you can have a lot more information in the "title" element of the link.
To use fonts you use
the "font" function!
For example <font face="arial" size=3>Words</font>
Would put your content in "arial" font and size 3,
which is the standard. You can also do "+" or "-" in the size to show "smaller" and "larger" like so.
<font face="arial" size=+1>Words</font> Should be the
same as
<font face="arial" size=4>Words</font>.
You can use many font faces but be careful. They look different in each
browser. For example arial in Netscape 4 is actually arial and bold..
To use Paragraphs you
use the "P" function.
Using the "p" function lets you have space above and below a
paragraph plus lets you align it.
So you can have <p>Once upon a time...</p> or
<p align=center>Once upon a time...</p>
With the align "tag" you can have. Left, right and center only.
To start a new line you
use the "BR" command.
If you have a large paregraph want to break it slightly by starting a new line.
The HTML for this is <br>
You can also use it to leave a line, for example if you had two next to each
other then the first would make a new line and when the second make a space.
Examples: Start a new line.. <br>
On Monday I ..... <br><br>
On Tuesday I ....
