Understanding HTML on Group pages

HTML coding is the basis of your pages. It is the computer's language, it tells the computer which background to use, the color of the the borders,  what width, what image, how big the pics should be, where images should be at, what font to use, what color, what size, spacing, etc. I am going to try to explain what each code means that is primarily seen on MSN Group Pages. I am not going to try to explain all that can be used...but the basic "tags" for MSN pages..
When you first "Add A Page" if you click on the "Use HTML to create" your page
at the bottom of your editor, you may see some code
just delete it ....
Now go back to the other screen for editing(click on Use HTML again)
You now have a clean slate to work with...
 
Add a plain background with these settings:
Rows 1
Columns1
go to background
select white color.
Now insert table
 

Now if you click on Use HTML again, you will see this.
 
   
Notice there is a beginning and ending tag for everything!! Your coding will not work without both!!
 
 
Now, for a table with several rows and columns this is how your coding will look.
 
Ok now we want to "play" with our table. First place your cursor inside your table type Hello, space bar,
then hit enter, highlight the hello, and click on font size, choose 6, now highlight again and click on font style, choose ariel black, now go to the A and choose red in the bottom right corner
 

 Hello 

 

 
Now click on use HTML again, and you will see this
 
 
Ok to check out your images....
Add an image to your table, right below Hello...

 Hello 

 

When you first add an image, it will be to the right... if you want it to be centered click on it so the little boxes are around it, and click on the center alignment tool
 
Now your coding will look like this
 
 
For each image you will see this same coding except for the part following the http:  that is the address of your image so the computer can find it...
 
Now add a link to your image...and again your coding will change..
 
Ok lets see, tables, text, images, links, spaces, lines, oh yes breaks
If you want your lines of text or images to be very close together like the lines I have
here, hold your shift key down and hit enter
This will allow a break in your line of text and not "skip a line" like
 
 this
 
The <BR>(break tag) and the Img tag do not have an ending tag... 
 
 
I am currently working on another tut for More on HTML
I will also show you how to "clean Up" a page so that you don't get the dreaded
weiner dog.... and also other tips 
But here you have the basics for MSN
Once you have this page figured out you are in the running!!
Be sure to check out these other pages on HTML!
