Have few questions about html tags.
I know for bold its text and italics is <cite>text</cite> questions are...

1) What are the tags you you use for an image?? Can it be from a website or your computer??

2) What are the tags colored text??

3) What are the tags for using different sized text??

4) Is this going to be too complicated for me to understand and/or be able to do??:p

Thanks

answer to question 4 is probably going to be Yes.

HTML learning secret:

Find a simple page that has what you want. Go to the view menu, then view source.

Or do it in a editor that inserts those tags for you.

Word will even do this, just save as html.

Hey Grifter. I quickly wrote this up for you for a basic reference:

<html>
 Here's an image: 
<a href=http://www.martialartsplanet.com> <img src=http://www.martialartsplanet.com/graphics/navbar/images/logo.jpg></a>
 AND:
 Bold Text 
Text is here 
And text is here 
And also here 
:-D 
Large text is here 
More coloured text 
And more 
And yet more 
:-D 
</html>

is ok for bold - better than the older 

<cite> does make text italic - but so does and so does 

Are you Citing or are you emphasising? Does it matter if both make italic text? Maybe not now but as you get deeper into html and CSS it may well do.

Here's a usefull link....

DON'T EVER user word HTML unless you have dreamweaver to clean it up its truely horrible.

Don't use font tags ether they are being phased out.

good HTML tutorial can be found at www.w3schools.com.

Its very simple and easy to understand gives you step by step advice also tells you how to use CSS which is well worth doing.

Depends what you what to it for, while CSS is fantastic for more complex web pages/sites, if you just want something quickly, and simply, basic HTML would be better.

4. You should be able to handle it easily.

Basic HTML as we know it now will be gone within 2 years.

Learn CSS!

Code your web page for content only and let CSS handle structure & layout.

I use arachnophilia love the program although I must say I preferred the old one to this new java one but that may just be because I am not used to it yet.

I have respect for old school (notepad) coders, I myself am lazy and use Dreamweaver. I still go through the code by hand to make sure it is all good.

dreamweaver just annoys the heck out of me because it adds in extra code.... grrr... i feel like i have more control when i code everything from scratch.

Then don't let it. The re-write code options are in the programme properties.
