Question

How do I change the color of the background?

Community Answer

You will create a similar tag as you did to change the font color. After putting everything in the body tag, you will put the {} brackets and on the inside, type "background-color:(insert desired color)." In code, it should look like this: body { color: black; background-color:gold } This code gives you black text and a gold background.

Do I need an app to change colors for texting?

Nope, you don't need any extra apps. Just the app that you're coding the rest of the webpage in.

Question

Can I change the color of the text in each line?

Community Answer

Yes, you can. If you want every line to be differently colored, then add inline attributes to all your tags with different colors in each one.

Question

How do I change the color of only one word within a paragraph in HTML?

Community Answer

Wrap the text around the HTML Tag , then, you can add the color by writing it in the tag in the head or explicitly stating it inside the span like so: {Desired text here}. The span tag is an inline element, so it doesn't affect the placement of the paragraph around it, or the location of the text.

It's the same way as they described in the article. Font color and text color are the exact same thing in web development.

Question

How do you add a header?

Stockriderj

Community Answer

That's very difficult with just HTML. Too much to explain here. Why don't you search for it online? It involves an external CSS file and lots of elements.

Question

After providing a new link, how one can add a blinking red-colored word "new" beside it?

Stockriderj

Community Answer

One can do that by linking JavaScript with their HTML. It's a lot to explain, and I don't think I can fit it all into this answer but you can search online for tutorials and piece them together to figure it out. Basically, you can use JavaScript to set the opacity to 0 and then 1 forever, and then in CSS you can set the transition of the NEW element's opacity to, say, 1s, and then in JavaScript, you can have a setInterval(); that repeats every two seconds setting the opacity to 0 with a setTimeout(); that waits for 1 second before setting the opacity back to 1.
