First off, HTML stands for: Hyper Text Markup Language. Each site in the World Wide Web is composed of HTML to make text, links, pictures, audio files and billions more of things.

1. ... <b>text</b> is for Bold
...<u>text</u> is for Underline
... <s>text</s> is for Strikeout
... <i>text</i> is for Italic

To change the color and the font, simply put this: <font face="FONT CHOICE HERE" size="FONT SIZE HERE" color="000000">TEXT HERE</font>

If you would like to make your text a link, put: <a href="URL HERE">TEXT HERE</a>
And if you would like to make the text link go to a new window, add: target=_blank before the last > so it looks like this~ <a href="URL HERE" target=_blank>TEXT HERE</a>

2. To make an image appear in html code, please put: <img src="URL OF IMAGE HERE">

To make the image a link to click on, put: <p><a href="URL HERE"><img src="IMAGE URL HERE"></a>
And to make the image without a blue border at its sides, add border=0 so it looks like this~ <p><a href="URL HERE"><img border="0" src="IMAGE URL HERE"></a>

!!! Be careful not to direct link another site that cannot be direct linked like angelfire or else the image will become an "x" or will simply not appear... you shouldn't direct link anyway unless you have permission from the site owner or else you'd be just stealing their bandwidth. !!!

3. If you have tried to see your HTML, you may find that there is a code in there at the top. They are <META> tags that give your site a description so search engines can find it easier. Here is a quick example of what a <META> tag appears:
<meta name="description" content="DESCRIPTION GOES HERE">
<meta name="keywords" content="KEYWORDS OF SITE GOES HERE">

Auto-refreshing allows the page to reload after a certain number of seconds selected by you. Here is a quick example:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="NUMBER OF SECONDS HERE; URL=YOUR URL HERE">

4. Scrollbar codes are to make your scrollbar blend into the layout you have for your website. Instead of a plain blue scrollbar supplied, you may have a beautiful scrollbar with colors on it aside from that shade of blue. The scrollbar code is fairly simple, it goes along the lines of this code:
<style type=text/css>
body{
    scrollbar-face-color:white;
    scrollbar-shadow-color:yellow;
    scrollbar-hightlight-color:black;
    scrollbar3dlight-color:orange;
    scrollbar-darkshadow-color:green;
    scrollbar-track-color:blue;
    scrollbar-arrow-color:red;
    }
</style>

Try fooling around with the colors and see if you can match your colors right.
