You don't have to be able to work in HTML, or even understand it. If you can type, you can add a banner!

What you Need to Know.

The only thing you need to be able to do is set up your web editing software so that it shows you both your web page as it actually appears PLUS the underlying HTML code.

All of the major web editing tools -- including FrontPage, DreamWeaver and GoLive -- have the ability to do this with just the click of a button. Consult your program's online help if you're not sure.
