[an error occurred while processing this directive] Lesson Two This page explains how to add tags which format and highlight sections of text, and create lists to the home page created in lesson one. Please download the template for lesson two (how to do this is explained in lesson one) and insert it into the file containing your home page, after the second paragraph.

Here's an example of what your home page page will look like after this lesson has been completed.

Tags That Highlight Text The text in the following paragraph is strongly emphasized and normally emphasized. Notice the similarity to bold (<B>) and italic (<I>). To be stylistically correct, use <STRONG> and <EM> when you wish to strongly or normally emphasize a point, and bold and italic when you specifically wish to bold or italicize text. Note that if you are using a line mode browser, no distinction is made between the two. For more information on tags of this sort, see Formatting Text in HTML.

<P> To back this up, we <STRONG>guarantee</STRONG> every item we sell with our <EM>twenty year</EM> no hassle warranty. </P>

Tags That Create Lists We're adding a list to your home page. Lists can be used for anything: to outline the services available from your company, detail your favorite hobbies, TV shows, or books, or even describe yourself (six foot tall, brown hair, glasses, beard). If you can't think of anything to list at this point, then just delete these tags from the file, and make a note to come back later when you've got some ideas.

<P> Acme Products sells </P>

<UL>
<LI>Nuts
<LI>Bolts
<LI>Screws
</UL>

The ADDRESS Tag Use ADDRESS to highlight a means of contacting you. A company would use its street address or P.O. Box; a person working for a company might put their work phone and department address; an individual might just put their e-mail address.

<P>
You can contact Acme at: <BR>
<ADDRESS>
Acme Corp.<BR>
1 Acme Way<BR>
Santa Cruz, CA<BR>
95060
</ADDRESS>
</P>

Note: of course you are not limited to using STRONG, EMphasis, Bold and Italic only in the third paragraph. Use them wherever you feel they would be appropriate on your page.

Now, let us test your revised home page.

Lesson three explains how to place hotlinks to other documents on your page, how to place graphic images on your page (and install them), and how to create a clickable e-mail address.
