I need help

Last time I touched HTML must have been 1998.

Quite simply I need to knock up a website pronto, I quite simply want a black background, one header text, and a centered jpg.

I can remember bgcolor, and that's about it.

I've tried a few online editors but the ones I've stumbled upon are all crap and I'm trying to do other things that are slightly more important at the same time, so can anyone quickly give me the coding I need or point me in the direction of something that will do this for me simply and quickly?

Would I load this as default.html under my www folder? I take it the server will point to it?

It depends on whether your server is set up to use default.html as an index page name. Usually index.html is the one to go for.

Thanks AHarvey I'll have a look when I get a chance to sit down and play with this properly. :cool:

Can anyone give me coding to have an email url text link?

AHarvey · 27 Dec 2012 at 04:09

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">Text to appear</a>

So, you could have it like this:

If you have any issues please email me by clicking <a href="mailto:[email protected]">HERE</a> and I will get back to you asap.

This launches any installed email app, or googlemail I think now offer the chance to use these links. If you don't have an email set up via outlook etc it's a pain in the ass. Better to use contact forms

A lot of the basic HTML is easily Googled, if you're planing on creating more pages you may want to look at CSS.
