Tag Attributes
When you want to change aspects of the background, the text, or an image; you will need these tags

Body Attributes (you only need to put this tag on the page once)  These attributes change the entire page.  You can always make exceptions to parts of the page if you choose.

<body> - this doesn't change anything

<body bgcolor="#000000"> - this will change the background color (in this case the color is black) For a listing of color codes, see the color chart.

<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFFFFF"> - this makes the background black, and it changes the normal font color to white

<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFFFFF" link="#33CC00"> - same as above, but now the new links are green instead of blue

<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFFFFF" link="#33CC00" vlink="#3399FF"> - now the visited links will be light blue

<body background="photos/flower.jpg"> - if I have an image file called "flower.jpg" in a folder called "photos" you will have a picture (of a flower) on your background

Here is the 216 color page.  Use this to determine what color codes to use for your page background and text colors.
