    Do this with a CSS code. Put it in the same folder as you saved the HTML, same trick that was explained above, except don't put .html, instead put .css. To link it then put: To give you an idea here is my site stylesheet. It is fine if you copy as it is I think pretty common. body { background-color: black; } p{ color: white; } h1{ color: white; } h2{ color: white; } h3{ color: white; } h4{ color: white; } h5{ color: white; } h6{ color: white; }
