In an earlier post I said;

"On my home page, I changed it back to no background graphic because
once I chenge the background I would need to change the font colors
for better contrast and I do not yet know all of the HTML codes for
colors."

Since then I have realized the basic colors like yellow, green, red,
etc. are as simple as their names.

As you probably already know you can do font codes like this;

<font size=1> and then after typing some words;
you close it like this </font> the / indicating it is closed.
The larger the number the larger the letters and tped characters up to
a certain limit.


HEADER CODES for Fonts.

The second way to size fonts is like this <H1>
You can remember that by thinking of the "H" as an abbreviation for
Header. But they do get small enough for regular text.
To close </H1>
This time the closing code is the same except we needed to include the
closing slash /
Using the the H code;
the larger the number in front of the H;
the smaller the fonts letters and characters.
The samller the number the larger the Header or the fonts.
just opposite of the "Font" codes.


COLOR FONTS and More

The way I do color Fonts is similar to the first method for font
letters. You just put in the word of the color you want into the code.
Examples:
<font color="purple">
There are also codes for colors and probably you would get more
variety of colors that way but I do not know them.

When I first started my website I used a template and then eventually
went into HTML.
Here is an example of a font code for size
and color from one of my web-pages:
<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#3F6F9F">

It does not matter if they are capitalized or not but the " " marks
are probably important. Looking at some of my source pages,
I did not always use them in Fonts but I think the stnadardized system
for HTML would probably reccommend it.
Using my method the above code would look like this:
<font size="4" color="blue">
of course it would still be closed with the slash and the word "font"
like this </font>.

If all of your text (fonts) is the same size and color on a web-page
then you shuld at least close it at the end of the page like this:
</font>
</body>
</html>

or using headers to close if they were all the same text (font)
for the whole page then it might look like this:
</font>
</body>
</html>

One other thing on colors, if you just use the name and not the codes
then you will have to experiment to see how many different colors will
work just using plain English.
Otherwise you may need to look up color codes in an HTML reference
book or chart.
