Basics of HTML (part 2)

Okay, so...links/images/uhmm fonts/colors, and more! Lesson 2.0!

Links
So, you want to insert some links...hmm, okay! :)
First, choose where you're going to link to...believe it or not, there are many people who don't know what to link to...let's just use Pinkie.nu...shall we?
Okay, first, type: <a href="http://YOURLINKHERE">Text that actually "links" you to the link</a>
Okay, now insert your link (ex: pinkie.nu) <a href="http://www.pinkie.nu">Pinkie.nu</a>
And this is what the link will look like: Pinkie.nu
Cool eh? Now...what if you want the link to open in a new window? Simple...using pinkie.nu, here's the example:
Alright, we're going to use "targets" (this just means, this is where our "target" link will appear"...when you set it to "_blank", the link will open in a new window) Okay, view: <a href="http://www.pinkie.nu" target=_blank>Pinkie.nu</a> See...now if that were to be the link, it would open in a new window.
This is what the link will be like if you have the "target=_blank" inserted in the tag: (click it): Pinkie.nu

Okay, now, "targeting to frames"...quite simple. If you already have a frame set up, lets say you named the frame, "main" as I have for my site. Okay...
<a href="http://www.pinkie.nu" target="main">Pinkie.nu</a> See...cool huh? Now, if that were a real link, it would look as:
Pinkie.nu <--- Click it! Cool Huh? It will open in this frame, so be sure to click back!!! Also, just replace the target="main" to the name of your frame you're targeting to.
You like? Ah...okay, lets move on.

Images
Inserting image tags can be, super easy...so here, let me show you.
Lets use this little bee

...okay?
Alright, lets just say you want a simple image tag...it would look like this: <img src="http://YOUR IMAGE URL"> Now...just replace "YOUR IMAGE URL" with the real URL to the image (no spaces

)
Lets say we're going to use the

"bee"

image ...so this is what the link would look like making the image: <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/blankwink/bee.gif"> See? Got it?
Moving on...let's say you want to increase the height or the width of the image. Simple. As always.

<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v61/blankwink/bee.gif" height="50" width="50"> would actually look like:

See, and all you do is mess around with the values and such...simple. :)

Fonts/Colors
Okay, some fonts for you web users out there: (NOTE: These are all "web-safe" fonts, meaning they can be viewed on most all computers)

Arial: This is what ARIAL will look like

Times New Roman: This is what TIMES NEW ROMAN will look like

Courier New: This is what COURIER NEW will look like

Georgia: This is what GEORGIA will look like

Verdana: This is what Verdana will look like

Choosing the font face: <font face="Arial">The text inside this tag would be ARIAL</font> Just replace "ARIAL" to your font! Wah-LAH!

Colors
Wooh, we've gotten far, eh?

...okay, font colors.
<font color="#FF3399">This would change my font color pink</font>
Example: This would change my font color pink
See? Cool...Just replace the "#FF3399" with any color you want. :)
