Basics
-------
First, you use this to say your using HTML: <html> and you end it with: </html> This is the main code template that you use: <html> <head> </head> <title>TITLE GOES HERE</title> <body> Everything including codes, text, ect. goes here. this is what will be displayed on your site. </body></html> Again simple? isn\'t it?

Working With Text
------------------
This of course goes in the body. To add normal text just like \"this\" just type in what you want and it will be displayed. Text Styles- Color:

<font color=COLORHERE>TEXT HERE

you can use hex code or simply just \"red\" for example. Underline:
<u>and end it with </u>
and:
<i>Italicized</i> <s>Slashout</s> <b>Bold</b> <u>Underline</u> <sup>SuperScript</sup> <sub>SubScript</sub> <tt>Typewriter</tt>
Size:
<h[1-7]> and end it with </h[1-7]>
1 is the biggest 7 the smallest.
Hyperlink:
<a href=URL OF WEBSITE> TEXT HERE</a>
Adding a space (text):
&nbsp;
i know it doesn\'t look like HTML but it is. dont add < > around it.

Adding Graphics
----------------
<img src=\"URL OF GRAPHIC\">
making them a link:
<a href=\"URL OF LINK\"> <img src=\"URL OF GRAPHIC\"border=0> </a>
Background:
<body background=\"IMAGE URL\">
^ That\'s for images ^
<body bgcolor=\"COLOR OR HEX CODE HERE\">
^ that\'s for a color background ^
