Tried to make this as simple as possible. If it seems too hard try 1 or 2 items and come back later.

First thing you should
know is what a tag is. I will refer to tags some in this tutorial
A tag is anything in an html document that is enclosed in
brackets. Like these: <>
Making a horizontal rule is probably the easiest thing to
do in HTML. This is the command for a horizontal rule:
<hr>
Below is an example of the horizontal rule above
You can also control the thickness, length and alignment
of the line, by combining the following attributes:
Width is expressed as a % of
the width of the page.
For example, <hr width=50%>
Size is (thickness) expressed as a number (of pixels).
For example, <hr width=50% size=10>
Align can be left or right. If not specified, it will
default to the center.
For example, <hr width=50% size=10 align=right>
<center>
This will cause whatever follows to be centered in the next line
in the page. You must always close with the </center> tag.
For example:
<center> My text is centered </center> will
appear as:
My text is centered
<br>
This starts a new line. NO closing tag is needed. This has to be
my most favorite tag. I use the break tag all the time.
Making a link to a page in the same directory as your
initial page is very easy. Here is the html script to do it.
<a href="nameofpage.html ">Name of Page
</a>
For Example, here is how I made a link from this page to my main
page
<a href="index.html">Index page </a>
Making links to other people's page's is VERY easy. Here
is the command: <a href=" the URL of the link ">
For example, to make a link on your page to Geocities it would
look like this:
<a href="http://www.geocities.com">Main Geocities
Page</a>
You have to include the </a> tag at the end of every link
or the rest of your page will become a link!
Here is an example of the finished link as it should look on your
page.
Main
IconsUnlimited Page
Below is how you make the Text, links, vlink and active
links different colors in your page.
As you can see it goes in which the background tag
<body background="nameof.gif"
text="#000000" link="#000000"
vlink="#000000">
In the above example where #000000 you put the color in you want
to use.
OK, a counter is usually the first thing you want to get
on your page, so here are instructions on how to do it. First you
have to go to
http://www.geocities.com/cgi-bin/counter/membername.password (you
fill in your membername and password where it says). Then you'll
see a counter that says 1. Then you simply add the following
script to your page wherever you want your counter to be:
<img src="/cgi-bin/counter/membername"> And you
put your membername where it says "membername".
Below is the Six different heading tags. Note title for
this page made in Heading tag 1:
<h1>
</h1> <h2>
</h2> <h3>
</h3> <h4>
</h4> <h5>
</h5> <h6>
</h6>
As you can see Heading size 1 is the largest, and 6 being
the smallest.
