Step 7: Adding a Paragraph of Text

Many people build web pages to express themselves on a variety of topics, including themselves. In this step you will be adding a paragraph of text about yourself to your page. Remember however, that anyone can view your web page, so take care about the information you choose to communicate.

1. Click the Text button on the toolbar. A text box will appear in the center of the page.
   
   
   Note: At times when you add new elements to your page you may see red crossed lines over the overlapping element. If this is the case, move the text box so that it does not overlap. Or if you want it to overlap, go to Format menu, select Page Properties, and then check Layered HTML.
   
   
2. Type a paragraph about yourself into the text box.
   
   
   
3. Highlight the text and select Helvetica and 10-point font from the drop-down list in the text toolbar.
   
   
   
4. Position your cursor on the blue bottom-right handle, click and hold, and then move the cursor to resize the window to remove any blank space.
   
5. Click and drag the text box over to the right-hand side of your picture.
