Hidden Keywords

The COMMENT tag is used to display text within your HTML

document that will not be visible on your webpage. They

enable you to mark the beginning and end of sections in

your HTML code for easy editing.

You can use the COMMENT tag to place your most relevant

keywords for better Search Engine ranking.

Not all Search Engines acknowledge keywords within the

comment tag, but for the ones that do, it's well worth

taking the time to use them.

Web Page Linking Methods

The ANCHOR tag is used to create a hyperlink.

To link to a page within the same directory of your

website, you only need to include the page name within

your HTML code.

Example:

When linking to a page within your website in a different

directory, you must include the directory name with your

page name.

Example:

When linking to another website, you must include the full

URL beginning with http://www.

Enlarging Text Without the Font Tag

The BIG tag is used to increase the size of your font.

You can add additional BIG tags, side by side, to increase

your font size even further. For each additional BIG tag you

use, your font size will increase.

Example:

The BIG tag can be used in place of the FONT tag, as they

both perform the same task.

Set Parameters Within the BODY Tag

The BODY tag follows the HEAD tag within your HTML. The

contents of your web page is displayed between the BODY

tags. This includes everything displayed when viewed

through a web browser.

You can set parameters within the BODY tag that will be

used throughout your web page. It isn't necessary to

set parameters, as there is a default setting, but if

you'd like your page to be displayed with colors other

than the default, you have the ability.

Using Font Alternatives

The FONT tag is used to display your text in a specific

style. If your visitor doesn't have the font you specify

on their computer, the font will be displayed in the users

default font setting. To make sure your pages are being

viewed as you intended, set up alternative fonts.

Your Text

This will tell the browser to display your text in

"Verdana," but if your visitor doesn't have "Verdana" to

display your text in "Helvetica" and so on.

In addition, you can add attributes within your font tag

to display your text at a specific size and color as well.

There's no need to create separate tags.
