Text Formatting

Obviously, it will be up to you to decide on the content for your site.  But, a cheerful starting place is a welcome message.

Let's use this opportunity to look at headings and style tags.  In the upper left corner of the screen, you should see a drop box that looks like this:

This is your style selector.  (or "tag selector").  You can choose several different styles that are built into the HTML language itself.  Each has its own effect on the text.

The easiest way to illustrate these is to simply show the effects of applying the styles.  Note that these are general guides, as each style is represented differently based on the theme you selected.

Normal
Formatted		
Address

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4

Heading 5
Heading 6
  1. Numbered List
Bulleted List
Directory List
Menu List
Defined Term
Definition

Create a "welcome" message.

Use the style selector to choose "Heading 2"
Type "Welcome to (Your Company Here)"
Press the enter key - you will notice that your style has reverted to normal.
Type a short welcome message under the heading.

Next, we'll save the page and look at page titles...
