I received external help from a friend named Isaiah Neeld, who taught me new coding for styling such as table alignment and blocking for quotes. My website layout was not what I wanted beforehand and I was not quite sure how to fix it. He walked me through the coding process until I produced a website that was to my liking.
I also went to http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ for further instructions and guidence on what code to use. This site was very helpful because it contained a lot of helpful information and explanations about different codes. It showed me what different codes mean and how I can use them.
