REMARKS:
You may notice that every time there is a change in Font style I open and close the FONT Tag to take control of every change.
This is not always necessary. For instance, in the last example, I might have written my HTML code as follows, and it would have worked just fine:

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
This is a beautiful Web Page !!! 
</BODY>

BUT, don't do it !!!!
The second FONT opening Tag "takes over" the Arial FACE from the first one, which normally is accepted by modern Browsers, but I cannot give you any guarantee it will work under any condition.
Moreover, the HTML closing syntax is wrong ! One  closing Tag for two  opening Tags is supported (or, better, "tolerated") by modern Browsers, but is not according to HTML standards.
Finally, such coding might not work at all inside a "Table" (Lesson on Tables coming up soon): both Netscape and Explorer might go completely berserk.....
So, always stick to the golden rule for the FONT Tag: always open it "in full" (with all necessary Attributes) and close it at each and every Font style change and you'll never go wrong !
After all it's just a matter of "copy and paste" for the FONT Code.....

Hoh, hoh, I was almost forgetting: it is Exercise Time !!!!.

EXERCISE 02

Try to make a Web Page that looks similar to this:

The solution is coming, as usual, with the next Lesson.

When I have some time, I enjoy playing with Tags and Attributes to make cute gadgets like the following:

h a s t a l a v i s t a, b a b y.....

or like this:

T E C H N I C O L O R

or like this:
