Neat, I built a snowspeeder ages ago. And I thought _I_ put things
off. I do still have an ED-209 kit sitting around someplace.
BTW, I'm lagging behind a little on getting my own web site put
together.

SimpleText will do it, but there are _much_ better text editors.
Just because it comes free with every Mac doesn't mean it will do
everything. I've been using BBEdit Lite. BBEdit even has plugins to add
html tags from a dialog box. TexEdit Plus ($10 shareware) is good too and
it's probably the best thing for formatting readable plain text files --
like fanfic -- on a Mac.

You're missing a few things, try this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P ALIGN=center><H1>SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron</H1></P>
<BR>
<HR ALIGN=center WIDTH=80% SIZE=4>
<P>Some junk</P>
<P>Some other junk</P>
<P>Yet more junk</P>
<P><STRONG>Bold Crud</STRONG></P>
<P><BLINK>Blinking Crud</BLINK></P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
There are a few Netscape extensions in there. The HEAD and BODY
tags aren't absolutely required, but it's a good idea to use them.

Backup, backup, backup, Edo.
