Let's go back to our simple page.
<body> Something really cool </body>
This is the paragraph tag. Think of a paragraph as a block of text.
<body> <p>Something really cool</p> </body>
By itself it doesn't "do" much except act as a sort of a container. And with most browsers, starting a new paragraph has the effect of skipping a line.
<body>
<p>Something really cool</p>
<p>like an icecube</p>
</body>
So, what else is this <p> tag good for? Well, it's great for aligning stuff.
<body> <p align="left">Something really cool</p> <p align="center">like an icecube</p> <p align="right">or a popsicle</p> <p align="left"> Something really cool<br> like an icecube<br> or a popsicle</p> <p align="center"> Something really cool<br> like an icecube<br> or a popsicle</p> <p align="right"> Something really cool<br> like an icecube<br> or a popsicle</p> </body>
Another simple way to center stuff on your page is the <center> tag. Everything between the center tags gets centered. Can't get simpler than that ;-)
<body> <center>Something really cool</center> </body>
