FEATURE ARTICLE
(Readers please note - when typing html codes in this newsletter I put 'periods' after the first < symbol. Make sure you do not put the periods in your code when you build your web pages or they won't work!)
More HTML Basics - How To Start Building A Web Page
If you read the last issue of this article you should now have the basics of a web page template, very plain but a good starting point. If you did not read the last issue you can still read it at:
March Newsletter
As you will probably have realised, and judging by my mail box many of you did, the text in your web page is very plain, this is because we have not yet told it to be otherwise.
Because of the nature of HTML and cross platform compatibility, you have to tell it to be exactly what you want it to be.
If you want it to be bold or in Italics you have to tell it to be so. Even if you want to start a new text line you have to tell it to do so!
Start by opening your web page in your Internet browser and go back to the 'view source' option, as detailed in the last article. This will open your source code and from here you will be able to make the alterations to your web page.
Lets start with changing the page colour. The background colour instructions to the browser are contained in the '<.BODY>' line tag and you will need to add the following to this line:
<.BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff">
The #ffffff instructions are the colours, this one is white. To alter this to other colours try some of the following.
#004040 = Black
#0000ff = Blue
#ff0000 = Red
#009900 = a nice Green colour!
Remember, once you have made an alteration to your source code, you must save the changes and then refresh/reload your browser window to view them.
And naturally if you have changed the background colour you will need to change the text colour from the default so that you can see it:
<.BODY BGCOLOR="#ffffff" TEXT="#000080">
This one #000080 is navy blue. You can use the numbers above for the text also. So now lets start with our first text line and add a title. Remember you have to tell it to be the title so start with the following.
<.H1>This Is My First Web Page<./H1>
You will notice that this is in bold as it is a title. Additional headings would be <.H2> etc.
Now the body text
<.P>This is my first web page<.BR>
If this works it is a miracle!<./P>
<.P> = Paragraph, open and closing tags. <.BR> = a line break.
A few simple tags for you to remember and don't forget they all require a closing '/' in the closing tag.
<.STRONG> = Bold Text
<.I> = Italics
<.U> = Underlined
Your web page should now look something like the following;
<.HTML>
<.TITLE>My Web Page<./TITLE>
<.BODY BGCOLOR="#009900" TEXT="#ffffff">
<.H1>This Is My First Web Page<./H1>
<.P>This is my first web page<.BR>
If this works it is a miracle!<./P>
<.H2><.U>About My Web Page<./U><./H2>
<.P>If I have got this far I must be a genius<.BR><./P>
<.P><.STRONG>No, but you have <.U>potential!<./U>
<./STRONG><./P>
<./BODY>
<./HTML>
So that's it, a good basic guide to HTML. We may follow these articles up with others but for now I hope this has given you some understanding of the complexities of building a web page. More information can always be found on the Internet, just do a search for 'HTML tutorials' on any good search engine such as AltaVista.
To run a successful web site you DO need to understand how a web page is designed because at some point you are going to need to edit those pages manually, if only to include banner ad or page hit counter coding.
I would not recommend any businessperson to go to the trouble of learning HTML in the year 2000 though, you will find learning French or German of more use.
There are now programs on the market called WYSIWYG ('What you see is what you get') editors, and these are better suited to busy business use. Two we recommend to our customers are Microsoft FrontPage and Adobe PageMill. They are not the easiest of programs for the beginner to master but once mastered they are relatively easy to use.
What I would recommend though is that; if you want to have a web site and update it yourself then get an original designed by a web page designer. That will then give you a professional looking template from which you can update or add additional pages to. If your designer will not let you do this then find another one - this is year 2003 not 1995!
A big mistake for any business to make is to launch a web site that is not finished or unprofessional looking. This will do your business more harm than good. Visitors never return to poor quality web sites, their memories are very long, and remember this is your business not a home page for your pet cat!

SPONSOR AD
FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY!!
Take home Corey Rudl's #1 best-selling Internet marketing course FREE for 30 days and prove to yourself, once and for all, that he's NOT full of BS!
... Much to his accountant's horror, Corey's ready to give you the shirt off his back just so he can prove to his BIGGEST skeptics that his course gives absolutely anyone the ability to start, build, and grow an EXTREMELY PROFITABLE online business (even if you don't have a product to sell!).
For the first time EVER, he's giving away FREE 30-Day Trial copies of his "Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet" course, so that you can get a first-hand look at the 1000+ pages of highly profitable Internet marketing strategies it reveals!
I'm talking about strategies like...
- How to locate thousands of people who are interested in your products, capture their e-mail addresses, and GENERATE REPEAT SALES from them... all within 48 hours (without ever spamming).
- How "automated" follow-up e-mail makes Corey $11,863 per month, and HOW YOU CAN DO THE SAME.
- The tiny adjustment to his e-mail messages that BOOSTED SALES BY 173.9%!
- Ultimate E-mail Secret! How to pull an 8.2% - 22.2% response on every mailing you send (compared to the embarrassing industry standard of 0.2%)!
- Why the autoresponders most people use are a waste of time, which ones MAXIMIZE YOUR SALES, and how to get them free every month. Also, how to protect yourself from using them improperly and doing irreversible damage to your reputation.
- The little-known blockbuster technique that will DOUBLE YOUR AUTORESPONDER SALES. I can assure you that you won't read about it anywhere else.
...and these are just a few of the coveted strategies you'll discover in this #1 best-selling course!
But you don't have to take my word for it!
Because for the first time ever, Corey's going to let you take his course home FREE for 30 days, read it, test as many techniques as you like -- and CONVINCE YOURSELF when his most profitable secrets dramatically increase your online sales, traffic, and profits!
However, I must WARN you: Since this opportunity involves a lot of risk for Corey, his accountant has insisted that he can only make the 30-day trial course available...
FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY!!
So I'd highly recommend that you visit...
Corey's Website
... immediately, and take advantage of this one-time opportunity before his accountant pulls the plug.
All the best...
P.S. Remember: Corey's the one taking all the risk with this 30-Day FREE Trial Course. If you decide after 30 days of reviewing his 1000+ page best-selling course that you don't want it, just send it back to him, no questions asked. He'll even let you keep the $798 in bonuses as "thanks" for checking it out. To start your FREE 30-Day Trial, visit:

LAUGH A LITTLE
As a traffic safety consultant, I often gave talks on accident prevention. One night after I spoke to a PTA group, the program chairperson thanked me profusely and gave me a check for fifty dollars.
"Giving these presentations is part of my job," I said. "Could I donate the money to one of your causes?"
"That would be wonderful!" she gushed. "We have just the program that could use it. We're trying to raise money so we can afford better speakers."

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
“A minute’s success pays the failure of years.”
Robert Browning
This is not a quote, rather a plea! If you are building your own downline please support them. I have visited many discussion boards where I read about affiliates who don't know how to get started because they never hear from their upline.
Remember, if you want to be successful you have to show your referrals how to be successful!
