Tags and HTML 1-3

Things you can do to change and control the way the page looks (color or background). All these commands go inside the <BODY> opening tag at the top of the page.

Example:

<body background="filename.gif" text="#000000" link="#0000EE" vlink="#551A8B"> OR

You can either use all of them or some of them. If all you put is <BODY> then the colors listed below (except the BGCOLOR which would be grey) are the default colors of the page. You can either have a background image (wallpaper) or a color. Some people choose the main color from a wallpaper for the BGCOLOR so that the text is readable even before the wallpaper loads up.
