How do you change the color of the text on your web page?

Glad you asked!


Here's the code:

<BODY BACKGROUND=" " BGCOLOR="# " TEXT="# ">

Once again the hex code comes into play. This is really not very hard. In the previous lesson I gave you some tips about hex code. The best way I have discovered to find the "code" for the colors, is in my HTML Editor. With Arachnophilia, I simply put my cursor in between the "# " and right click. Up pops a color pallet where I can click on the color I want and then click the O.K. button. Simple as that.

    I know I harp on about Arachnophilia, but it's the first Editor I downloaded off the
    internet, and I have found that I work the best with it. That's not to say you can't
    use whatever you want. There are some Editors that do the same thing. The only
    difference; It's free. I wanted to know if writting HTML was something I could learn
    and continue learning. I wasn't going to spend money on something I was never
    going to use.

You can also change the color of the links and the viewed links.

Here's the code:

<BODY BACKGROUND=" " BGCOLOR="# " TEXT="# " LINK="# " VLINK="# " ALINK="# ">

Once again; hex code for these tags.
