Fonts and Text
There are seven different font sizes to choose from, size 7 being the largest and size 1 being the smallest. The same color codes that you used in the Backgrounds section apply to font colors. Again the old six digit RGB codes. The actual font faces that you can use are limited to whatever fonts you have on your system for your viewing purposes. A Ha! But not for your Web Site programming purposes! Yes, you can program a font on your web page that you don't even have on your sytem and when somebody who does have that font visits your web page they will see it. But it also works the other way around. If you use some rare and obscure font face on your web pages that your viewers don't have they won't see it. Most Browsers will display your text, but they will do it in the default font face, (usually boring old Times New Roman).

The look and feel of your Web Pages with fonts & text.

Now let's add some contrast to "MyPage.html". Open up your text editor again and open your web page in the editor.

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>My first web page</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY BACKGROUND="Images/blue.gif"> This is my first web page

</BODY>

</HTML>

Simple as that! *NOTE* Your visitors to your web page may have limited or completely different font sets than what you have programmed and may not be able to "read" your fonts, but you can give them multiple choices. They are in a prioritized order. Their browser will look for the first one in the order and display the content in that font if they have it. If not the browser will look for the second, the third choice, etc. Give multiple fonts choices like so:

Changing the dynamics of your web page content by changing your font sizes colors and faces is easy. It only requires more typing and the use of the , (Paragraph) and the  (Line Break) and the  (Bold) tags.

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>My first web page</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY BACKGROUND="Images/blue.gif"> This is my first web page

 And this is my first web page content

 And this is my second web page content

</BODY>

</HTML>

*NOTE* You do not have to "end" the  and the   tags like you do with the  tag and all other tags. The Paragraph and Line Break tags are the exeptions to the rule.

Play with these tags, create some content on your "MyPage.html", do whatever you want to with it. Try differnt fonts, font sizes, colors, etc. Get comfortable with using the tags.
