You can put these tags wherever you want on your page. The Web browser knows not to display these tags on your page, but just to read them and obey their instructions. So let's say you have your story about television and you want to put some of the words into boldface. You'd type it out like this:

There is nothing that I love more
Than watching my <b>televison</b>,
I got it at the TV Shop
And nothing rhymes with <b>television</b>.

When the Web browser looks at this code, it will display it like this:

There is nothing that I love more
Than watching my television,
I got it at the TV Shop
And nothing rhymes with television.

OK? Just like that, you're writing HTML code. If you can handle the idea of opening and closing tags, and you can learn what the various tags are, you'll be set.
