I'm going to make an attempt to write something that people may be able to use to learn how to write html code. In this example, I will use an actual banner I made recently and pic into each element I used. This isn't by far everything you can do with coding, but it may work for some.
This is the exact code I used when I added it to my setting "About Me" tab:
<center><font color="B0B0B0" size="9">Saturday, November 26</font></center></p><marquee direction="left"><font color="red" size="7" face="Old English Text MT"><a href="http://fubar.com/6640827" target=_blank">Sweet Sassy Syleigh</a></font></marquee></p><marquee direction="right"><font color="white" size="4">is going for</font></marquee><center><font color="Blue" size="9" face="Lucida Calligraphy">2,500 Likes!!!</font><br><p><font color="909090" size="3" face="Cooper Black"></font></p><p><font color="red" size="4">while we're at it</font> <font color="909090" size="3">Let's make it</font></p><p><font color="FFFFFF" size="4">3,000 </font> <font color="909090" size="3"> </font></p><font color="blue" size="4"> <font color="909090" size="3"> </font></p><font color="Blue" size="5" face="Lucida Calligraphy"> </font></center><center><a href="http://fubar.com/6640827" target="_blank"><img src="http://b.pcc3.fubar.com/72/80/6640827/1727301329.jpg"></a><p><font size="10" color="1859FF">Click <a href="http://fubar.com/sweet-sassy-sleigh/b360876-1311942" target="_blank">HERE </a> for code.</font><font color="white" size="4">Send a friend!</font></center>
<a href="http://fubar.com/6640827" target=_blank">Sweet Sassy Syleigh</a></font></marquee>
<a href="http://fubar.com/6640827" the letter "a" stands for "Anchor". HREF stands for HyperReference, the technical term for a "Clickable Link". The full address must be in quotes. You can see that this is a fubarprofile link.
target="_blank"> indicates that this will open a new tab
Sweet Sassy Sleigh is the text that will scroll to the left in the Old English Font, and be size 7.
</a> ends what is a clickable link
</font> ends the Old English Size 7 Red text
</marquee> ends the scrolling text.
<marquee direction="right"><font color="white" size="4">is going for</font></marquee>
<marquee direction="right> Indicates everything will scroll toward he right until the </marquee
<font color="white" indicates pure white or FFFFFF and size="4" indicates it's larger than normal, but not really that big.
</font> ends this, and </marquee> ends the scrolling.
<center><font color="Blue" size="9" face="Lucida Calligraphy">2,500 Likes!!!</font><br><p><font color="909090" size="3" face="Cooper Black">
Centered, color blue, large size 9 and the font face Lucida Calligraphy. </font>ends this. <p>Starts a new paragraph. This stays in effect until the </p> appears
The next font is small and another type face.
</font></p><p><font color="red" size="4">while we're at it</font> <font color="909090" size="3">Let's make it</font></p>
Note the </font> appears with no text. This is a placeholder I created in case I want to add more text to this, maybe to describe it in greater detail.
</p>ends that paragraph and </p> starts a new one. You don't have to include a carraige return this way. One more font tag with text with an end and another paragraph ending
<p><font color="FFFFFF" size="4">3,000 </font> <font color="909090" size="3"> </font></p><font color="blue" size="4"></font>
More of the font combinations.
<font color="909090" size="3"> </font></p><font color="Blue" size="5" face="Lucida Calligraphy"> </font></center><center>
Even more font combinations.
<a href="http://fubar.com/6640827" target="_blank"><img src="http://b.pcc3.fubar.com/72/80/6640827/1727301329.jpg"></a>
<a href=" is another hyperlink that opens in a new tab.
<img src="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.jpg" this is adding an image. You must specify the actual link to the image, not the webpage the image appears. This makes a clickable image with no text involved. </a> ends the hyperlink.
<p><font size="10" color="1859FF">Click <a href="http://fubar.com/sweet-sassy-sleigh/b360876-1311942" target="_blank">HERE </a> for code.</font><font color="white" size="4">Send a friend!</font></p></center>
