You guys realize that half of those attributes are obsolete in HTML? If you try w3 validator, it will tell you the same thing.

For an example, <... align="center">, <center>, <font color="...">...</font> etc. (everything related to exact "look" or "style" described in HTML) is obsolete and should NOT be used. CSS should be used instead.

HTML in general is used only to describe document structure, not the document appearance. So, instead of <center> you should use style="text-align: center", instead of <font> one should use style="color: red; font-family: sans-serif", instead of BOLD, ITALIC, UNDERLINE (<b>, <i>, <u>) corresponding CSS variants should be used.

Also, <em> should be used to define the given text as EMphasized, not only the style itself.

Hey Karmen, there's an online tool that can check if you did something wrong:
You enter the link to your site on http://validator.w3.org/ and press validate, it'll check if everything is written according to the standards

oh ok, thats quite usefull. so i just click on that and enter my website address and it will check it for errors?

edit: Just did that and i had like 60 errors

i googled most of them and figured out how to fix them. its quite helpful for new people and i would highly recommend using it.

Thanks for all your help wutske.

so if i was to do something like

<html>
<head>
<title>My Name Is Karmen</title>
</head>

<body>
<center><h1>This Is My Webpage</h1>
<br>Hi!</center>
</body>
</html>

then that would center the writing? also how do i change the color of the background and text?

That would indeed center all your text. I would usualy not use the center tags, but there good for starters :rolleyes:

. If you want to set the background and textcolor, you'll have to add some information to the body tag:

<html>
<head>
<title>My Name Is Karmen</title>
</head>

<body style="color: #898989; background-color: #AFAFAF;">
<center>
<h1>This Is My Webpage</h1>
Hi!
</center>
</body>

The #898989 is a hexadecimal code that represents a color. The first 2 numbers are for red, the next 2 for green and the last 2 for blue. The larger the numbers, the more a color is represented.
A few colors:
White: #FFFFFF
Red: #FF0000
Green: #00FF00
Blue: #0000FF
Purple: #FF00FF
Grey: #999999

If you don't understand the hexadecimal code, you could use names instead, but your limited to a certain amount of color:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_color_names
