Hey, cephas, this is how I do pages....I hope you have an easier time at geocities than you did at angelfire!

Look at exactly how I have the codes here, okay?

Remember that HTML tags are individual instructions to your browser.....for example, you can't add your (font size=) tag inside of your (body background=) tag, okay?

P.S. DO NOT look at this page with the "edit" function...it will confuse you, guaranteed, because to write an "example page" like this to show HTML codes, you have to write it as a page-within-a-page.......so there are a lot of double codes and funky stuff....eek!

<HTML>
<BODY BACKGROUND="Whatever.gif">

Want a plain-colored background?...

<BODY BGCOLOR="pick a color">
<CENTER>
<font size="3" color="maroon">

Want a horizontal line across your page, to kind of break up sections of your page (like above)?...all it takes is this:

<HR>

Want a pop-up box?.........

<SCRIPT>alert("Whatever you want to say in the
pop-up box")</SCRIPT>

Transloading.....just remember to "Rename To" things as nothing more than----> Whatever.gif .....and remember that graphics are .gif, music is .mid (or .ram), whole pages are .html

Also remember.....HTML is 100% unforgiving when it comes to spelling, spaces, quotation marks, brackets and closing tags, etc...be VERY careful to put everything together in a tag that's supposed to be in it, okay?...if you want something centered, and you type <CEMMTER>, you won't get it centered!

And what the heck is the tag <header>??...I've never seen that, and you sure don't need it, okay?

Writing your own HTML Pages comes a tag at a time....be patient....and as you see each one work, you'll be writing even more!...and there are tons of Help Sites out there - sometimes they're just confusing to figure out what the writer is talking about....LOL!!

EXAMPLE PAGE WITH THE ABOVE CODES:

<HTML>
<TITLE>...you ONLY need this IF you want something to show in the status bar...otherwise, you don't need it</TITLE>
<BODY BACKGROUND="Whatever.gif">
<FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="BLACK">
<CENTER>
<IMG SRC="FileName.gif">...or the whole URL if you're getting it from someone else's page - but sheesh, transload it to your own file list - LOL!
<P>
<HR>...for a horizontal line across the page
<P> Welcome to my page, and yada yada yada, blah blah blah...now go away...yada yada yada
<P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
