Oh, goodness. That was a bear, trying to figure out where the font and it's color goes. I just kept playing with it, reading and rereading the lesson, trial and error and I finally got it.
This week we are learning about background color, text color and font, meaning, you can use a fancy font if you so choose. Just be aware that not everyone visiting your web page will have that font, so it is best to use a default font like MS Sans Serif which is one of my favorites for web pages and e-mail. The font can be changed throughout the page to different fonts as often as you like, the text can not.
When you use the font tags < font></font> and an "attribute, i.e. "face=; this combination will set the font for the entire page, such as: <font face="font name", the color of the font, color="the color #number" and the font size, size="the size number".
Use only jpg's or gif's on your web pages. These work better than other formats such as .BMP's as many people will not be able to see your graphics and because the size is usually huge and will take a long time to download.
Image Source <img src=> refers to the filename and where it is located. The
browser will then look for the size so it knows how much space to leave for the image.
When putting up a graphic always use "border=0", this will put a border around the graphic. Depending on the size of the border depends on the number inserted. The <img src=> does not need a "closing" tag. Attributes must be within the tag, each attribute and it's value should be entered as a block of information, "NO SPACES".
Examples of image placement.
