Now before we can start designing your personal page, you will need to change the style of your page. So go into 'edit this page' scroll down until you reach a button that says 'Change Style' change from 'Plain' to 'Guide ML' then click the change style button.
Once you have done that you will see these codes:

Tags
Every code needs an opening and a closing tag in order to work, this is an opening tag <write your code here> and this is a closing tag </write your code here>. If you do not use both an opening and a closing tag your codes will not work and you will recieve an error in guide ml message.
