Basic HTML

Text Size And Color:

To Change your text size and color use these codes! REMEMBER to change the "(" ")" to the "greater than" & "less than" signs!.

(font size="you put the size you want from -2 up to +7")
(font color="type the color you want here")
You can use the above tags with different lines of text in the same E-mail or on the same page. There are many colors to choose from. The best pages that I have found to show you the colors you can use are:
WtvJunky's Color Chart

RGB Color Chart


These are the tags to use to make your text BOLD, Italic, or Underlined.
(b) and (/b) are the tags for BOLD

(i) and (/i) are the tags for Italic

(u) and (/u) are the tags for Underlined

* REMEBER to replace the "(" ")" with the "greater than" and "less than" signs !!! And you thought you would never use math in REAL life :-) !!


Background Colors:

(body bgcolor="Any color") and (/body)

Line Breaks

The following are single tags. This is the tag for a text line break: (br)
This is the tag for a blank line break: (p)

Transloading
Transloading images is very easy to do, but complicated to explain. I will try my best to explain it to you. *Remember to only transload graphics that you have been given permisson to. Never "steal" someone elses images!*
To transload a graphic you must first figure out it's address. There are many ways to do this, but I will describe the easiest one. When you are on the page that has the graphic you wish to copy hit your "go to" button on the keyboard. Now type in www.translo ad.net/hex.shml This will take you to Star Blvd. Hex extractor. The address of the page you just visited will appear. Click on the teardrop image to drag the address down to the source URL. Then hit extract. This will bring up all the images as well as links. Click on the "P" for preview on the different images until you find the one you want to transload. Once you have found the right graphic hit "back" and click on it's address to transload it to your server. This will automatically take you to Star Blvd.'s Transload Service. Fill in the blanks. The FTP address for geocities is ftp.geocities.com. This will take you step by step and before you know it the graphics will be on your server. There are many ways of doing this and this is just one- I know it sounds confusing, but it's not! Just try it out.E-Mail if you have problems.

Adding An Image

*We can all transload graphics to our own server now! This is something that should be done whenever possible! NEVER link to a graphic unless you have permisson to!*
This is the tag for adding an image
(img src="http:// the graphic name or address here ")

Image alignment:
(center) and (/center) to center your image
To align your image to the left or right you must use the tag within the images address.
example: (img src="thae address here" ALIGN="right of left")

Music

WebTVers can use two different codes to add music to their pages and emails. I recommend the (embed) tag because people with computers can hear your music.
(bgsound src="the music's ULR here")
REMEMBER that only WebTV users will be able to hear your music with this tag!

(embed src="the music's ULR here")
* NEVER link to a song that you don't have permission to link to!! The best place to find lots of songs that you can link to is

How to make your image a clickable link
Use this code before the image:
(a href="http://The ULR you want to link to") (img src="Your image ULR")(/a)
You can use the same code to make a text link! Just write your text between the (a href=.....) Your text here (/a)!
