Need a consult!

We've been thinking about revising this thread to include a basic HTML tutorial for people who have gotten frustrated with some of the weird RTF formatting glitches, but have been reluctant to switch to HTML because of all that scary looking code.

So we'd like to get your input.

If there's anything you'd like for us to include in an illustrated step-by-step HTML tutorial, e.g., posting images, creating tables, etc., please let us know in the comments section below.

Thanks much!

Is there html code for making font smaller or bigger or changing it's color? I would find that very helpful.

Tables and images would be helpful, too. Sometimes the photobucket html code and I don't always see eye to eye and it would be nice to just be able to do it myself.

Why yes there is! For changing size the code is < font size="insert number here" >Write what you want here (take the spaces out from between the < >) The larger the number you use, the bigger the font, and vice versa.

Example:

This is

This is

Colour is a bit more complex as each shade of each colour has its own code. Look here (http://www.computerhope.com/htmcolor.htm) for all the various colour codes.

< font color="#800080" > Write what you want here. (Once again, lose the space between the brackets)

Example:



Tables I can't quite remember so I'm going to have to look into it and alas, I must get ready for work now. :(

Yup.  I see _slytherin_girl has already answered your question re: fonts. :)

I'll try to post some HTML basics within the next week or so, and will be sure to include your suggestions.  But if you need any help in the meantime, please let me know, and I'll try to help you out.

Thanks much!
