Getting started
Next, open your head, by typing ltHEADgtltTITLEgt
then name your calendar, then make sure you close
the head by typing thislt/HEADgtlt/TITLEgt. Use the
slash on everything to close it. Open the body by
typing ltBODYgt You can also add color to your
background and text. Its best to double space it
and use word wrap.

• To begin, open up Microsoft NotePad, or some
  other program similar to it.
• First, you need to save your page, so save it
  with any name you want.
• To Open your webpage, the first thing you need to
  type is this ltHTMLgt make sure to the little
  arrow things on every tag.

Starting the Calendar

• First center the calendar ltCENTERgt and then you
  type ltTABLE BORDER 1-10 WIDTH100
  height100gt that makes the border of the
  calendar and makes the calendar big. You dont
  have to use the height and length tags if you
  want your calendar to be smaller.
• Next, push enter and then type ltTRgt for table
  rows.

• Then type ltcentergt, to center your calendar, then
  type lt/tdgt, and finally lt/centergt.
• Then type lttd colspan1-10gtlttd aligncentergt, to
  create your columns and center them.
• Next, close and then open table rows by typing
  lt/trgtandlttrgt

Making the Calendar

• Type lttdgtthenlt/tdgt 30 times, or however many days
  are in your month.
• And after every 7th lttdgtlt/tdgt close and open your
  table rows by typing lt/trgtlttrgt
• Then go to the top of the page, just after the
  first lt/trgtlttrgt and type seven more lttdgtlt/tdgts

• And between these lttdgtlt/tdgts, type the days of
  the week, one day in between one lttdgtlt/tdgt.
• Then depending on the day your month starts put
  1. Like if your month starts on a Sunday, put 1
  between the first lttdgtlt/tdgt, if it starts on
  Monday, the second lttdgtlt/tdgt, and so on when you
  reach the lttrgtlt/trgt just ignore it, and continue
  typing in numbers between lttdgtlt/tdgts

..

• When you reach the number of days in your month,
  you need to close the table by typing lt/tablegt
• Then close your body and html.

• If you want to add links, graphics, or other
  things its a good idea to add them in before you
  close your body and html.

FINISHED!

• If you could follow and understand my poor
  directions correctly, you should have a cool
  calendar of your own to look at everyday!
• You can even post it on the web for a small fee!
• Hooray!
• (I had to do this PowerPoint in less than 30
  minutes because my other one got ereased. Thats
  why it is not very good.)
