Need some help going back to old school html

Hi I am taking a class in college and the professor wants us to make a website with just html. No css, no php, no java. For the life of me I cannot find any tutorials that deal with designing with html only. Everything I find is html + css.

Any ideas here? Oh and we cannot use dreamweaver or frontpage or any other software like that.

Thanks for the help.

    You can use 'tables' or 'framesets' to make the layout, i have listed some other tags and attributes that you can use.

    To change the background color of body use 'bgcolor' attribute
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    <body bgcolor="#201f1f">

    </body>

    To center use 'center' tag
    ---------------------------------
    <center>
    <h1>Hello</h1>
    </center>

    To set a font use the 'font' tag
    ---------------------------------
    eg 1:
    <font color="#ffffff" face="Arial">
    <h3>Without CSS</h3>
    </font>

    eg 2:
    <font face="Arial" size="2" color="#8D8D8D">
    <b>Tel:</b> +123456789<br />
    <b>Email:</b> info@company.com
    </font>

    Some of the tags and attributes might not support in HTML5, so use some other doctype in the html file.

    just use html with inline styling? quite possibly the easiest project I have ever heard of, what kind of college class is this?

    HTML Code:
    <html>
      <body style="font-family:"Times New Roman",Georgia,Serif;">
        <div style="width:980px;margin:20px auto;">
          <div style="width:35%;float:left;padding:10px;">
            <h2>I am the left column</h2>
            <p>here me roar!</p>
          </div>
          <div style="width:65%;float:right;padding:10px;">
            <h2>Main content is awesome</h2>
            <p>I like to use main content, cuz its fun man</p>
          </div>
        </div>
      </body>
    </html>

    I would suggest you go through the topics and you will have a practical, useful understanding of HTML in no time.

    All the best

    I would suggest never using w3schools, especially if this is for a school project (so much misinformation on that site).
