Now that you have your basic web page set up, you are ready to make it a little more complex. In this step, you will learn to add color to your web page.

Click on the <BODY> tag.
Choose "Edit tag" from the Edit menu or click the Edit tag button (right).

The Body Attribute Editor dialog box will open. It has a variety of fields you may choose to edit.

Note: For purposes of replicating the sample web page, type the exact codes that are listed beside the background color, text, link, and visited link fields above, into your own body attribute editor dialog box.
To the right of each field you will see a painter's palette icon (right). To choose a color for a particular field, click the palette button to the right of that field. A window like the one below will pop up.

If you don't like the narrow range offered in the color palette, you may click CANCEL and enter a hexidecimal code for a color in the appropriate text field. Need more Colors?
Choose a color by left-clicking that color with your mouse.
Click OK at the bottom of the screen with your mouse.

Once you have finished selecting your choices, save your document and preview it. Now you're ready to add images to your web page.
