Changing the font color
http://www.webmonkey.com/reference/Color_Charts
When you're adding a color to your Web page with HTML, sometimes you can just type in the name of the color. But more often than not, you'll need to use what's called the hex code.
Click here for a hex code color chart.
To make text appear in a certain color, use the hex color codes like this: <font color="#FF0000">.
Example: <font color="#FF0000">this font red</font>
To set default font colors for the entire page, use color codes in the <body> command. For e
Example, if you want font = black, link = blue, 'visited' link = red, 'while being clicked' link = pink
Use: <body text="#000000" link="#FFFF00" vlink="#FF0000" alink="#FF00CC">
________________________________________
Changing the background color
Use bgcolor="#(insert desired hex code"
Example, if you want a red background, you would use this code: bgcolor="#FF0000"

Including a graphic
To include a graphic in your HTML template, use <img src="URL">. (Be sure to include the entire URL of the graphic, starting with http://.)
________________________________________
To make a clickable link
Use <a href="URL"> and </a> around the text of the link. (Be sure to include the entire URL, starting with http://.)
Example: Make <a href="http://www.lyris.com">this text link to http://www.lyris.com</a>

To make a numbered or bulleted list
Use <ol> and </ol> at the beginning and end of the list, and use <li> to create the individual lines.
Example:
<ol>
<li>This is line one
<li>This is line two
</ol>
will look like:
1. This is line one
2. This is line two
(For a bulleted list, use <ul> and </ul> instead of <ol> and </ol>.)
