This is the default text size and since we included more BODY information that is available since Netscape1.1 (current is 4.01) we can have colors!

BGCOLOR tells our browser what color we want the page to be.

TEXT tells it what color we want non-link text to appear.

The 3 tags with LINK in their names indicate what color any text that is acting as a link should appear. The linked text will show up in the LINK color when your machine has not visited the page before. It will show up as the VLINK color when you have been to the page before. While you click on the linked text it will momentarily turn the color of ALINK.

Now let's link back to the Basics page and see them in action.
