ADDING COMMENTS
Adding comments about your website in the code can help you remember what the
special tricks are, what your plans are for the whole page, or to provide extra
information about the website code such as copyright.
A comment uses a stand alone tag .
Comments do not appear on the webpage, you must look at the source code to find
them.
A little note : Often in computer and math the exclamation point is used to
mean no or not. An exception is factorial math where something like 3! really
stands for 3 * 2* 1 and 0! is the same as 1. Also, other computer programming
languages use two dashes " - - " or two slashes "//" to
mean a comment. If you can understand one language (even a little bit), it will
help you to learn another.

Here is an example of our page with a comment about the structure of a link tag:
<HTML>
Notice that the comment does not show up on the webpage.
The structure of the comment tag is this :
<!—comment goes here -->
.
<HEAD>
<TITLE>MY VERY BASIC PLAIN JANE BORING WEBPAGE</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" vlink="#ff0000"
alink="#00ff00">
the good stuff goes here
<P>
<!-- remember to leave a space between the a and href in the link tag -
->
<a href="
</BODY>
</HTML>
