One of the resources I use for learning HTML tags is by a fellow named Ian Graham. I can't recall the title of it, but look for an HTML resource book, about 2 inches thick, with that fellow's name. It gives a lot of examples, including many pictures showing what it would look like in different browsers.

The list of HTML tags is quite extensive. Once you learn that, you can get fancy, ie tables.

Mary, where is your lyric site?
