You see all these little buttons just above where the text is like B, I, U, S. These are formatting elements. Sometimes, you can't get the element to do what you want or you want to use an element not there.

One very important tip I have failed to mention so far is that with every element there is an open code and a close code. You have seen them in the examples we have looked at so far. For example:

<A href></a>
<font></font>

However, there are some elements that you can get away without using the close code. As good HTML practice, it is best to include your close code every time.

The one element you can use without ever using the close is <br>. I wanted to make sure you know about the <br> because it is for a line break. So, if something appears too close to something else in the visual view, go into text and at that point on your page add the <br>

With the formatting elements, this is especially important. For example, if you don't close the bold, you may end up with more BOLD words than you wanted.LOL

Here is a list of several Formatting Elements:

• <b></b> BOLD
  
• <i></i> Italicize
• <p></p> Paragraph
• <h#></h#> Headers
• <u></u> Underline
• <font></font Font
• <center></center> Center in the middle of page

I found a great reference page for you of a lot of the Text Formatting codes.

You can go into the Text tab of your post and add any of these to your page to make it look better. Play around with them.
