A good feature of web pages is a "footer" at the bottom of a page, this provides information about the author and the document, maybe the last date it was modified, as well as a means to send the author a message by e-mail.
This is the place for the address tag which just stylizes a block of text in italic and offsetting it to a new line.
It is a good idea to make footers brief, informative, and consistent between your different web pages. Some useful information to include is:
- Title or subject of the current page
- Date it was created/updated
- Copyright if appropriate (or even meaningful?)
- Name and e-mail for the web page author
- Name and hypertext link to affiliation/organization
Though it is a useful thing to have, not every page for the site you are making needs these footers, if you put the footer on the important pages then people will still know. Note that all other HTML inside the address tag is legal, so we might modify it with bold tags, line breaks, and a hypertext link tag.
