<html>    
 <head>    
   <!-- The block of META tags is required by Homepage Studio  -->    
   <!-- to identify this file as created by FREEform Editor.   -->

   <META NAME="description" CONTENT="enter a description here">    
   <META NAME="author" CONTENT="enter your name here">    
   <META NAME="generator" CONTENT="FREEFormEditor 1.0">    
   <TITLE></TITLE>    
 </head>    
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#0000EE" vlink="#551A8B"> </body>    
</html>    
<!-- /\ end html  -->

I'm just into HTML first steps but I can explain everything.

1st part:

Code

 <!-- \/ starthtml --> <html><HTML CONTENT HERE></html><!-- /\ end html  -->

Leave this the way it is, don't touch. Just tells you that the HTML code is beginning. INCLUDE this at the end and beginning of each HTML document, so browsers understand you're using HTML.

2st part:

Code

     <!-- The block of META tags is required by Homepage Studio  -->    
   <!-- to identify this file as created by FREEform Editor.   -->    
   <!-- Please do not remove them, but feel FREE to append     -->    
   <!-- them with your personal data below. Meta tags help     -->    
   <!-- search engines identify the content of your page.       -->

This means that you have to leave the META tags on. META tags are stuff that help search engines identify your page. for example you enter "RuneScape" "Online game"

and people enter "RuneScape" onto Google, It will somewhere display your website. META tags take a while to upload into search engines database.

Also some searches like Yahoo! don't use META tags.

3rd part

Code

   
  
 <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">  
   <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="enter keywords here">   
 <META NAME="description" CONTENT="enter a description here">    
 <META NAME="author" CONTENT="enter your name here">  
 <META NAME="generator" CONTENT="FREEFormEditor 1.0">

I decide to color code this one, it's kinda confusing

Just tells you what content it is.

Tell something that describes your website like "General Gaming, etc" Do it in this format:

Code

 <meta name-"Keywords" content="Gaming, Fun, Computers">

Enter a description for your website. e.g. Gaming Website (THIS IS NOT THE PAGE TITLE!)

Enter your name or company here. like "Neon Zidane" or "Web Design Ltd."

Tells what HTML editor did you use like "FrontPage 4.0" or in your case "FREEFormEditor 1.0" Leave this the way it is, it won't really do anything to affect your page.

4th part

Code

  <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#0000EE" vlink="#551A8B"> </body>

The bgcolor tag is the color of your background.

The text tag is the colour of normal text.

The link text is a hyperlink.

The vlink tag is when someone visited a link.

Also if you're wondering what those #****** is for, they're hex codes. Each hex code is a specific colour. Here's a "cheet" sheet if you need one.

You're in your stage of learning HTML, and I wish you a good luck on your future websites Smile

.

I wrote this, and I have no guarantee that my info is right, plox don't blame me for errors.
