<body bgcolor="black">
click file then save in the notepad window.. now goto internet explorer
window and click the reload button on your browser.. you just made
your background black. bgcolor is background color. see advanced
html for more information about the body tag

you just saw what it did when its inserted into the notepad. you type it
into yours and type something after the code, and click file then save.
now you see where it says <font color="red"> you can also replace it
with hex codes like example for black hex would be.
<font color="#000000">
now goto your index.html again and click reload, now you got back-
ground black and size 7 red font..
( link code ) is a link to another of your pages, or another's website

save and reload the page. click the link that you made, and you
should be directed back to my site.. ok you see the </a> and </font>
at the end of codes, that stops a code if you dident stop a link code
your whole page would be the link..
