General HTML - Any words you put between "P" tags will be text displayed on the website. You can enhance the text by making it bold, italics, underlined, striked-out, or even blinking. Basically, everything you just read was between "P" tags.

The word "Tags" refers to a system of coding which "<" and ">" are used to tell the computer what to do. Anything between "<" and ">" are part of the tag.

Extra things you can put into the body tag include:

bgcolor="#color" background="backgroundimage.jpg"
text="#color" link="#color" alink="#color" vlink="#color"

Those above are the most common and most important ones.
