Notes: Now, you know enough to be able to write your own webpage. There are many free webpage providers on the internet. Most require that you put an ad up on your page, they will provide you with instruction on how to meet their requirements, you will have to shop around and find a deal that you like. There are many, many things that you can do with your page that have not been covered here. This tutorial is just getting you started. After you've gained some more experience writing webpages and feel comfortable with what you know. You can add other types of things such as animation, tables and forms by simply finding a webpage that you like with the component you want to learn and then simply viewing their source page to see how they did it. You do this in most browsers by clicking on "view" and then "view source" or "view document source". You might also want to pick up a book about writing HTML documents. The "Dummies" or "Idiot's Guides" are often very good. Counters: A counter lets you see how many people have visited your page. They usually involve placing a tag or a series of tags in your HTML document at the point where you want the counter to appear. Counters vary with the individual webpage providers. They are different for each provider, So check with your webpage provider for instructions on how to include a counter on your page. Here is a list of tags and their functions that you may find useful later on. <BIG>...</BIG> makes text big ... makes text small ... underlines text ... makes text bold ... makes text italics "...&quot This tag does not use the <> brackets.
