If you’ve ever tried to display an image with your text wrapping around it, you have probably discovered it won’t work with just a plain image tag.

To do so, you must include the ALIGN attribute within your image tag.

Image Displayed on Left:

<IMG BORDER=”0″ ALIGN=”Left” SRC=”yourimage.jpg”>Your Text

By placing the above code within your HTML, your image will be displayed on the left hand side with your text displayed on the right.

As you continue to type your text, it will automatically format itself to wrap around the right side and the bottom of your image. This example has been set up with a table to keep the text neatly aligned within a limited amount of space. The table’s width is set up to span 50% of the page width.

The HEADING tag is used to display your heading text in a larger font with <H1> being the largest down to <H6> being the smallest.

Some Search Engines place relevance on text displayed within the <H#> tags, so place some of your most relevant keywords within any of the 6 <Hx> tags.

Example:

<H3>Your Guide to Health & Fitness</H3>

When using the HEADING tags, you don’t have to use the <H1> for your first heading. You may begin with the heading size of your choice. However, for your secondary headings, you should not use a larger heading than you began with. In other words, if you’re using <H3> for your primary heading, then your secondary headings should be <H4> or <H5> and not <H1> or <H2>.

The FONT tag is used to display your text in a specific style.

Although you may specify the font style you would like your text to be displayed, please keep in mind, if your visitor doesn’t have the font face you specify on their computer, the text will be displayed in the users default font setting.

To make sure your pages are being viewed as you intended, you should include alternative fonts within your HTML web page font tag.

<FONT face=”Verdana,Helvetica,Arial”>Your Text</FONT>

The code above tells the browser to display your text in Verdana, but if your visitor doesn’t have Verdana to display your text in Helvetica and so on.

By including font alternatives, you can ensure your page will be displayed exactly as you had intended.
