Building your first web page ( cont. ) Now that we got our basic page layout done, you can see that we don't have much so far.There are a few other tags that go in the <HEAD> section, that can be important to search engines, but we aren't going to go into them in detail in this section, you can read about them here if you wish. Lets give our page a better title.Using your editor ( You are following along aren't you? ) change your title tag to something a bit more realistic. I'll change mine to read <TITLE>Everything you wanted to know about the PBX.</TITLE> Ok, now lets dive into the <BODY> of the page, were the good stuff can go. Remember just about everything that you will see happen on a web page goes inside the <BODY></BODY> tags. I'm saying just about because there are exceptions, but for the sake of simplicity I am not going to get into details in this section. Ok take a deep breath now and move on. Lets add a bit of background color to our page. There are many values that can be added to the <BODY> tag, and it helps to control the look and color of the background to your page. To add a color, you can use the BGCOLOR value, an specify the color using either hexadecimal values, or a select few English words like white, black, blue, etc. Using the hexadecimal value will allow you much greater control and a wider selection of colors, so it is recommended you use those instead. Click here for a color chart, to find the value of the color you want to use. Got it? Ok. I'm going to use 0000FF, or regular blue for the background color. The format will look something like this: <BODY BGCOLOR="#0000FF">, so lets add that in place of the <BODY> tag. You can also use the <BODY BACKGROUND="yourimage.jpg"> to use an image for your background, but we will stick with colors for now. Lets look at what we have so far... <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Everything you wanted to know about the PBX.</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#0000FF"> Your content here. </BODY> </HTML> Click here to see what this looks like.
