Paragraph tags syntax look like this: <p>put text here</p> l make things this size so basically the regular size that you will type a large majority of things for your webpage(s)
hyperlinks are written like: <a href="put the link to thew website or webpage you want here">put the text you want yout hyperlinks to be here</a> this and they allow you to link other parts of your site to eachother and put a link to other sites so here is an example of hwo a hyperlink would actually be This leads to the webpage "http://www.example.com" and once a link is visited it turns a purpley color but an unvisited link is by default blue you can change what colors hyperlinks are and change when you hover over them and what color they are after they have been visited but we can talk abou that later becuase that is more complex and we just want to get a message across first and then deal with all the little cutsie things later

My colorful page
My connecter website which has many cool examples of what you can do with just some basic knowledge of HTML and CSS and maybe even a little Javascript. Athough as I said before the Javascript is iffy with me because I never understood it enough yet to use it to it's fullest potential on webpages but on code.org's "game builder" I was able to make some cute little animations with it but inside of an actual webpage for the most part: "No dice".
