Chapter 19. Choosing a Title, Text Colors, and Other Page Basics

There's the forest, and then there are the trees.

In Web authoring, the trees are the content ”the words, the pictures, the links. But before you start planting pines, you're smart to deal with a few quick, easy elements that affect your page at a higher level: the title, color scheme, and other stuff that defines the shape and function of the forest.

This chapter assumes that you have already installed Netscape Communicator 4.7 and its built-in Web-authoring program, Composer. If you have not, visit http://wp.netscape.com/download/archive.html and download Netscape Communicator version 4.7 for your system. (It's free.)

More recent versions of Netscape and Composer are available, as well. Although the exact steps for some features may differ slightly, you'll have little difficulty finding your way around a newer version of Composer using the material in this book.
