Topic Moved.
HTML questions should go in the Web Development forum.

Oh, and what sort of indent do you mean?
Typically, in screen-based media, leading indents on paragraphs aren't "done".

Be a lil' more specific, and we can give you better assistance.

Indents in paragraphs. See I am somewhat of an aspiring writer, and I have to use proper grammar skills on my site or no one will want to hire me.

Well, you can use repetative " " without the quotes to have a single line indentation, or the "
" tags to block text together.

Indentation of paragraphs on a web page has nothing to do with grammar.

Further to that, whilst grammar et al. is fairly important, a good editor/publisher can see past poor spelling and grammar and see a good writer.

Focus more on developing your style of writing and your ability, rather than how you're presenting your work.

If the work is good, the presentation won't matter quite so much.

To do it, though, just set text-indent to a positive value in your style sheet for paragraphs as follows:
p {
text-indent: 2em;
}
