Creating A <BODY> For Your Document

BODY TAG: Within the <BODY> tag, give your webpage a colored background, using a color you picked from the color cube website. If you don't remember the tag, consider the example <BODY BGCOLOR="#rrggbb">, where rrggbb is the rgb color in hexadecimal notation. View your page in both Netscape and Explorer, if possible.

HEADING TAG: Use a heading of size 1 to title your page "My Name's First Assignment". Center your heading. If you don't remember the tag, consider the example <H1>Donna Tupper's 1st Assignment</H1>. View your page in both Netscape and Explorer, if possible.

PARAGRAPH TAG: Within the scope of a paragraph tag, write a paragraph about yourself. Some ideas you can use are hobbies, work, or family. Write a second paragraph detailing the websites you viewed when I requested it in the lecture notes. If you didn't go out and view websites like I asked you to, your second paragraph can be an apology for not doing so, and the fact that you have learned your lesson. View your page in both Netscape and Explorer, if possible.

HORIZONTAL RULE TAG: Separate your heading and your first paragraph using a full horizontal rule, <HR>. Separate your first and second paragraph using a horizontal rule which is centered in the middle, and has a length of 50% of the screen. If you don't remember the tag, it is <HR WIDTH=50% ALIGN=CENTER>. View your page in both Netscape and Explorer, if possible.

PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES: Within your two paragraphs above, use any three of the four physical attributes described in class. Those were <B> for bold, <I> for italics, <U> for underline, and <TT> for typewriter text. Remember that each has a closing tag. View your page in both Netscape and Explorer, if possible.

LOGICAL ATTRIBUTES: Apply the <CITE> tag to the websites you viewed earlier. If you did not view any sites, use the <STRONG> tag on your favorite hobby. Remember, these tags have closing tags as well. View your page in both Netscape and Explorer, if possible.

SIZE OF TEXT: Change the basefont size to 4 using the basefont command. If you don't remember the tag, it is <BASEFONT SIZE=4>. View your page in both Netscape and Explorer, if possible.

COLOR OF TEXT: Change the color of any word, or a couple of words, in your webpage. If you don't remember the tag, <FONT COLOR=desired color, either by name or hexadecimal number>. View your page in both Netscape and Explorer, if possible.

FACE OF TEXT: Change the face of any word, or words to Helvetica. If you don't remember the attribute which is added to the FONT tag, it is FACE="Helvetica". View your page in both Netscape and Explorer, if possible.

SIZE OF TEXT: Change the size of any word, or words to 1 size above bvasefone. If you don't remember the attribute which is added to the FONT tag, it is SIZE=+1. View your page in both Netscape and Explorer, if possible.

SUBSCRIPTS AND SUPERSCRIPTS: Go back to your heading and change 1st to 1^st. If you don't remember the tag, it is <SUP>. View your page in both Netscape and Explorer, if possible.

Make sure you ended your webpage with a closing tag for both the BODY and HTML tags.
