This is a help hit on how to post a pic for starters.....



Looking to CENTER some thing

<**CENTER> Your text <**/CENTER>

Do this with out the ** and it will center your text.



How about a new BACKGROUND:

<**STYLE type="text/css"><**!-- body{**background: url(**http://members.blackplanet.com/your name/pic name.jpg or gif) fixed;} --><**/STYLE>



The best thing to do is to COPY and PASTEthis just like you see it here and then do changes. You will also need to take out the ** so it will work. The picture that you want to use has to be in the upload picture part on your page design. This will give you a new background.



FONT FACE:

<**font face="fontname">

Remember to always close with the <**/font> tag. Also remember to take out the ** before you put it in.



COMIC SANS MS

TIMES NEW ROMAN



FONT SIZE:

There are two ways to change your font size. SPECIFY THE ACTUAL FONT SIZE <**font size="n"> where "n" is a number from 1 to 7.

Remember to always close with the <**/font> tag.



Font size="1"

Font size="2"

Font size="3"

Font size="4"

Font size="5"

Font size="6"

Font size="7"



SPECIFY THE RELATIVE FONT SIZE. <**font size="+n"> or <**font size="-n">.

Basically, you are specifying how many sizes larger or how many sizes smaller than the preset font size.



Font size="-2"

Font size="-1"

Font size="+1"

Font size="+2"

Font size="+3"

Font size="+4"

This is the default size for this font.....now I can change the size with

<**font size="+3">to make it larger, <**/font> or

<**font size="-2">to make it smaller <**/font>

Now you Should Know By now to remove the ** before you use it!! LOL!!



FONT COLORS

Font colors can also be changed for effect and impact.

You can specify the color that you want by either the color name or hexadecimal code for that color.



COLOR NAMES:

<**font color="colorname">.

Remember to include the ". Some browsers will interpret the color

without the ", some will not....it is always best to include it!

You must remember to close with <**/font>



Note....these color names may not be recognised by all browsers.

Some examples of font color names are:



Black

White

PeachPuff

Red

Firebrick

OrangeRed

Blue

MidnightBlue

CornflowerBlue

Cyan

Green

DarkGreen

SpringGreen

Yellow

DarkGoldenrod

Gold

Burlywood

Purple Orchid

Maganta

BlueViolet



HEXADECIMAL NUMBER



<**font color="#rrggbb">, where "#rrggbb" is the hexadecimal number.

Remember to include the "#. Some browsers will interpret the color without the "#, some will not....it is always best to include it!

You must remember to close with <**/font>



Some examples of hexadecimal numbers are:

#000000

#FFE4C4

#CCCC99

#FF8DC

#FA8072

#990000

#FF3030

#000080

#000066

#0000CD

#AFEEEE

#006400

#66FF00

#00B800

#DAA520

#FFCC33

#FFA500

#C71585

#FF00FF

#8B008B

#CC33FF





BASIC MARQUEE:

<**marquee>Then your text<**/marquee>

This is the basic tag for a marquee. You must always close with <**/marquee>.



This is the basic tag for a marquee, and it will scroll across the page from right to left continuously.





BEHAVIOR:

NOTE: Beware of the spelling! If you use behaviour instead of behavior, then it will not work.



<**marquee behavior="alternate">Then your text<**/marquee>



The text will bounce backward and forwards continuously.



<**marquee behavior="slide">Then your text





DIRECTION:

<**marquee direction="right">Then your text<**/marquee>



The text will scroll from left to right.



If you do not specify the direction, it will default to scrolling from right to left.





HTML TAGS:

HTML tags do not work between the marquee tags with IE3.0 versions, but they do with IE4.0.

Therefore, if you wish to change the font size color or face of your marquee, you must specify the font outside of the marquee tag. If you try to use it between the tags ... the font changes might not work, depending on which version of IE is being used to view your page!



<**marquee>

<**font face="Comic Sans MS" size="5" color="#CC33FF">

The font MIGHT NOT change. <**/font>

<**/marquee>



The font MIGHT NOT change.



<**font face="Comic Sans MS" size="5" color="#CC33FF">

<**marquee>The font changes WILL work!!! <**/marquee>

<**/font>



The font change will work!!!



If you want to have several lines scrolling across your page, instead of one long line, then you will need to put each line in its own marquee tags. The

and
tags might not work between the marquee tags. Be aware that the lines will scroll across the page at slightly different speeds unless they are the exact same length.



<**marquee>Here is the first line.........<**br>

And here is the next.<**br>

This third line is the last one!<**/marquee>



The line breaks MIGHT NOT work.



Here is the first line.........


And here is the next.

The line breaks MIGHT NOT work.



<**marquee>Here is the first line.........<**/marquee>

<**marquee>And here is the next.<**/marquee>

<**marquee>This third line is the last one!<**/marquee>



The line breaks WILL work.

And here is the next.

This third line is the last one!



The line breaks WILL work.



The Link tag:



A link is quite simple, it tells the computer where to move to within your own directory

or within the World Wide Web. This is what a basic link tag looks like.

<**a href="http://www.address.com/>. Now that you have a link, you must identify

it somehow. This is usually done by using the font tag to just write the address

down. Once you do that, you can close off the tag with <**/a> Here is an

example of a link to Infoseek:



<**a href="http://www.blackplanet.com/">

<**font size=4 color="blue"> blackplanet.com<**/font ><**/a>



That will produce a link that looks like this:



blackplanet.com



MUSIC:

To add real music to your page you must have Real player Basic 7 at the least. Once you have real player this is the cod you need to insert in your PERSONAL MESSAGE. You can put it at the top or the bottem wherever you want the player to show. Make sure the code is alone with nothing next to it. This is th code. (and remember not to insert the **)
