The HEADINGS TAG are placed within the

This is Heading 1
This is Heading 2
This is Heading 3
This is Heading 4
This is Heading 5
This is Heading 6

This is what the code looks like:

This is heading 1. As you can see the Heading text is surrounded by the TAGS. To change the size of the Heading simply replace the number 1 with the corresponding number of the heading size desired. You can center your Heading by simply nesting it inside a set of TAGS, like in the example below:

This is Heading 1

If you choose not to center your Headings, the browser will line them up to its default settings (probably left.) Using the CENTER TAGS you can also center text or images. This is what you code should look like (if you started with the Getting started lesson):

	



 
This is Heading 1 
 

Once you put your heading into the document, you will want to have a paragraph or two to describe your web site. To do this just type any text that you want underneath your heading. This would be the first paragraph to appear within the BODY of the document. The text will wrap with a single space between each word, regardless of how you lay out the document or how many spaces you put between the words. To start a new paragraph you will need to use the paragraph symbol

If you want to force a line break with no extra spaces between the lines, use the Line Break
TAG. This is useful when you want to end a line before it reaches the end of the page. To center a paragraph use the

TAG. The code will look like this:

This line of text is centered 
 

This is what your code should look like:

	



 
This is Heading 1 
 
This is the beginning of paragraph 1

Type your text here

Besides color there are many things you can do improve your text. Just as a normal word-processing program, you can underline text, make it bold, or italicize it. Here are the HTML TAGS for these commands. Simply place the tags around whatever text you want to affect.

Underline: 
Bold: 
Italics: 

This is what your code should look like:

	



 
This is Heading 1 
 
This is the beginning of paragraph 1

This text is a different color   THIS TEXT IS BOLD 

THIS TEXT IS UNDERLINED 

THIS TEXT IS ITALIC 

Once again its time to try this code on your own. Try changing the color of the background, text, and headings of your page. You might want to experiment with different heading sizes, text colors, and paragraph locations. Remember you are learning HTML and only with practice you will become a true master!
