Tables

To make a table on HTML.....

You begin with <table>
The you end up using <tr> (for rows), <th>(header), or <td> for the cells.
To really find out how to individually change the font is a bit complicated....until you fidget with the many ways to insert the code. It ends up as <tr> <font color="#"></font></tr>.

Oh and to help people find you on the web, you use the meta data, for example you insert the code below the </title> and it begins like this <meta name="keywords" content="art history" />.

Remember...

TextEdit isn't the same as it was from the previous versions on the Mac OS.  Since the Lion upgrade, TextEdit has been a tedious thing to work with, especially if it's in the form of HTML.  The Save As button has disappeared so you learn to save it in a different manner but with the consequence of saving it as a .txt file (then change it to .html).

The new options in saving the file is even worse because you can 'duplicate' and 'save and version' (in which you end up with lots of files on your computer), you might as well use a windows computer and wait for it to start up.

Good news though, there's a solution, on the web/app store you can look up TextWrangler to replace TextEdit...praise the internet!hahaha
