As you know, we open a new Notepad file and begin writing our HTML code. When coding the file is complete, go to FILE, then SAVE AS... and save it as a TEXT file with the name you choose, then .html. Remember, the name of the file can only be ONE WORD followed by the dot html as in (index.html). The FIRST HTML file we upload to a server must be "index.html". In this case, I have created the index file, so your pages will be named differently.
1. Create and save (on a floppy) an html file using your last name as the file name, in LOWER case (hint: winson.html would be my file name)
2. Go to Working with Color and move your mouse over any color. You will see the entire page turn that color! Choose TWO (2) colors for your page. One will be your background and the other will be your text color (hint: chose colors that work well together, one light and one dark)
3. Write down the color names AND numbers.
4. Use the code <body bgcolor="your color name" text="your color name"> after the </head> command.
5. Write a short paragraph about yourself and why you decided to create this page.
6. Upload it to our server.
