Everything to do with HTML.. I just found out today that the only way to change font color is to add an HTML font code along with the color code to the fonts I want changed on my website. So I started to think that there are a lot of us that don't know anything about HTML codes and maybe we can all share what we learn or know to help eachother out with changing certain areas of our sites that go beyond what BP has to offer on the admin. area of our sites. I understand that where ever we can type in words, we can type in an HTML code. So here is my HTML stuff I learned today in regards to changing the font color. This is an example of where the code needs to go and how ("History of Western Film making located here" is just what I have in my gallery description.: History of Western Film making located here. You can also add bold type and you would put that in after the code and then also at the end. Whatever you do at the beginning you have to do at the end. Hope that makes sense. If anyone has a code to list or share with us, please do so. Thank you and I hope you find this helpful. Michele Wassell

There's other ways also.

You can also use HTML to indent the first line of each paragraph, to give articles and other text on your website a more professional look. Type in to create one space. Add several together to create a paragraph indent: (5 space indent for paragraph) (8 space indent) Bob

It looks like what I typed in created a space so I guess it works here too! The code for a space is: &-n-b-s-p-; (without the dashes seperating the letters and symbols.)

I'm going to see what happens when you try to type white fonts.

This would be really cool, but everytime I try and show an HTML code, I don't know where to put the *s so that the code doesn't actually disappear. lol I know some of the basics, but I'd love to learn some other stuff from anyone else out there!

Type <. then font color=. Put your color in ". Then type another >. Disclaimer-Prior attempt at typing in white font was followed by internet disconnection. More testing before we can announce any conclusions.

You can make things centered (if this code works!) This code works in your gallery!

Justin and Autumn, Thank you for your input. Any detailed codes that you can list here to go with your statements? This is what this forum is here for. Thank you,

Michele, I'm not sure about other browsers, but in MS Internet Explorer, click the View menu, then click "Source". This will open the source code for the current page in a notepad window. Then use "Find" to search for a word in or near the code you are looking for. For example, if you search for "tricky", you'll find the code for Autumn's marquee trick. Here is a test of a LINK. Chris

While I'm at it, someone emailed me recently and asked how to post links here in the Q&A, so I'll post the code for it. In the code below, replace ( and ) with < and >. (a href="http://www.website.com")LINK(/a) In this example, the work "LINK" will show up in your post, and clicking on it will take you to www.website.com Have fun, and remember to always use these geek powers for good and not evil.

Hey Gregory... Do you have access to something like that but with using a horse say running??? I would love to add that to my website. Or do you know where I can find such a thing? Where do people find little accents like that? Michele :)

that's just webdings font, lower case h. I see the bounce didn't work with the eye.

Ok, my scrolling one is just the word "marquee" (without the quotes) in between the < > Pretty easy.

OT - How does one set their email for an automatic response so you don't get spam?

I hope you can see a racing horse: The HTML code for the above is as follow. Note that the horse image is stored at "http://home.swbell.net/nobin/horserace.gif" : <p><marquee direction="right"><img src="http://home.swbell.net/nobin/horserace.gif"></marquee></p>
|
||
|
|
|||
|
Nobu Nagase |
To test the code, - open a notepad - cut & paste above two lines of code that start with <p - use "save as" and save the file with .html extension, for example racinghorse.html - then double click the file name

You guys are having way too much fun. My deluxe site has been up a week and I just figured out bold, break and paragraph. Gregory I tried to use your HTML code for red font but didn't get it. Could you actually write it out for me for the color red? Once I see it I'll be able to try other colors too. Is there a way to make a link on the gallery page of ones free site to their deluxe site? How about adding a image, from ones gallery, into the bio page? Thanks for any help you can give me in adding a little "pop" to my site. Deja

You probably forgot a " Next to the M key there's a <, and a >. In between that you type font color="red". But you've probably seen me use scarlet.
|
||
|
|

- Gregory LaGrange Contact Gregory LaGrange Gregory LaGrange's Gallery |
I'm sure you could place an image if it has an address you can copy and paste. Just place it in between the < things with img src="address". There's a way to adjust image size but can't remember. Just google html code and check some places.

I see depending on your browser, not all colors work. And not all fonts. No more wingdings or webdings. And instead of scarlet, it's now crimson. But there's still brown and there's maroon scarlet comes out black
|

Maybe scarlet does work.
