Essay - 3

What is a good website ?

When you plan your web page you start by writing everything down on paper. Write what you want your web page to say, show, and do. To make a map of the links you will be using, write a circle in the center of a new sheet of paper and write HOME in it. Then draw lines to other circles that say the names of your sub pages. Later you will learn how to link your home page to your sub pages.

First we want to have a simple text program to use. Go to START programs Accessories NOTEPAD. Notepad is the only program I found to work for html. After you are in notepad type the following.
 this will start an html document :
     - starts the header
     - title that you see at top left corner on screen
     - ends title
     - ends header
     - starts the body ( the guts )
     - ends the body
     - ends html document ( IMPORTANT )

To enter text into your web page, all you need to do is type what you want any where in between the two tags. Save and refresh. And you can see what you typed.  To center text ( and pictures ) all you need to do is type before the text you want centered and after.

To change the size of the letters type before and after text you want bigger or smaller. Note: 4 can be changed to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Only 1-6 will work.   Effect BEFORE text AFTER text BOLD,  ITALIC, SLASH

To color text just type before the text you want a different color and after. Note: green can be replaced by the color you want the text to be.
