You probably know now, that this entire site is constructed of HTML. HTML, is a fun, easy way to write your own website. Here I'll list some basic strings to help you design and feature your own website.

Here's a simple introduction: HTML is a code that consoles can translate into a website. You will need an HTML editor to enter your code in, and a host, to well, host your files. Freewebs and Geocities I could recommend for a starter website. You can pay for quality service, but I suggest you build a decent website first. There are several things you must enter for simple things, but it's not as complex as C++, at least.

First off, every single string in HTML starts with this sign: <, and ends with this one: >. I'll replace those with "[" and "]" so the editor doesn't read my code. Let's start with the basics.

Spacing:

"[br]" is the term for skipping a line, while "[p]" let's you double space your words. To skip a line, place "[br]" between the two lines you're separating, and to double space, place a "[P]" before the words you want to appear two lines after the previous line.

Linking:

You can easily link your text by using this code: [a href="url"]textyouwanttoappear[/a], with the < and > replacing the [ and ]'s. The same can be done for emails, and files for download.

Images:

You can insert an image into your website using this code: [img src="imageurl"].
To thumbnail an image (have an image linked to a website), use this code: [a href="url"]img src="imageurl"][/a]. (Add a < before img).
There are many other things you can do with images, but I'll end with backgrounds: use this code: [body background="imageurl"]

Text:

If you want bold text, simply type this code: [b]yourtext[b]. The same can be done for italic and underlined text, like so: [i]yourtext[/i], [u]yourtext[/u].
[font size="2"]yourtext[/font] would create smaller font. You can adjust the number for notices, titles, and other stuff.
If you want colored text, just enter this code before all the text that will appear on your website: [BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF" ALINK="#FF0000" VLINK="#009900"]. Now that I've told you this, you will have to learn some other stuff: Now, the six numerals you see after the # sign are stands for hexadecimal code. #000000 is black, the default color. Before I tell what numbers stand for what colors, I'm going to tell what each one of the strings do. Text sets the color of the words on your page, links set the color of links on your page, and ALINK and VLINK are alternates for what color your link will be when you click on it. BODY BGCOLOR is the color of the background.This code can be separated to include only the strings you want.

Hexadecimal Colors

Here's a list of the basic colors (Courtesy of Yahoo! Geocities):
White #FFFFFF

Yellow #FFFF66

Red #FF0000

Gray #CC9999

Blue #0000FF

Green #00FF00

Black #000000

Purple #CC33FF

Lt. Blue #00CCFF

Background Music

It's a simple code: embed src="musicurl" autostart=true hidden=true> [noembed] [bgsound src="musicurl"] [/noembed]

Other:

Aligning your text:
The code to align your text is pretty easy: [p ALIGN="CENTER">line1[/p]. You can also replace "CENTER" with "LEFT" or "RIGHT."

Title

Simply type this: [TITLE]yourtext[TITLE] to determine the text at the bar at the top of your screen.

So now you're probably thinking, "WTF do I do with all this?" Like I said in the start get a webhost with an HTML editor. I'd start with a free one, and once you get a popular site going, start paying for more features. I use a looked down upon FreeWebs. Here's why: It has a clean interface and solid HTML editor with easy file uploading and editing. There's tons of hosts though, I suggest you do your research if you seriously want to make a website. Once you've done that, start making your pages. Slowly memorize these codes until you can create an entire your page on your own. Try ot step-by-step. Maybe you could memorize how to create a background image, generate altered text, and spacing. So, you would create a new page and start something, for example: [b] My Home Page [/b] [p]Line 1: Blarg, blarg blarg. Click [a href=http://www.blarg.com]here[/a].
You start memorizing more and more strings (never hesitate to learn more or just use resources) until you have a cool page. Start adding more and more features to your website, and tell people about it. Then just watch it fly. This web page is just really reference for a quick code and a learning center for basic strings.

Now, this isn't obviously every HTML string in the world. I think I've given you enough for you to start your own website. There's probably THOUSANDS of hexadecimal codes, that you can look up on Google, and many lines of HTML that can let you create polls, guestbooks, even forums. Those features you can also get for free with a thorough Google search. Freewebs and Geocities offer their own features you can onto your website like counters, comments & reviews, etc. this page was meant as a reference for anyone looking to start their own HTML based website, or people looking for a quick string or code.
