Other than spelling homepage wrong, I think it's great that you're actually learning!

Once you learn enough, you'll be able to combine these tags to your needs and end up making a layout or something, but you've still a long time to go.

<p align="center">Hello and <u><b>WELCOME</b></u> To the coolest site</p>
<p align="center"><u><h1>EVER!!!</h1></u></p>

I noticed you put the <p></p> on different lines. Since the both of them have the same quality (align=center), you can leave it on the same line:

<p align="center">Hello and <u><b>WELCOME</b></u> To the coolest site <u><h1>EVER!!!</h1></u></p>

If you meant to leave like, a enter in between, you could add a <br> where you want the extra space to be. Try it out.

Thanks for advise, I updated it a little bit.

instead of typing <br /> 10 times is there a way to type like <br /> X10 ?? or something of that sort?

aiee! why so many <br />'s?
Do you need something on the bottom of the page? You'll learn about that soon in css. And I really don't remember how to do it with css, so bleh :/ Sorry.

I wanted those so because I had it so when the link is clicked it scrolled down to that spot, but before there wasn't enough page to scroll down at all so I added some page space.

I believe to make something appear at the bottom of your screen you would type this code:

<tr valign=bottom>TEXT HERE</tr>

And also, I don't think you need to type <br />, you only need to type <br>, as far as I know.

<br /> is to make it xhtml compliant.

yeah, I've already learn a bunch more since this post
