    It took me a couple times playing with it to get it. Make sure you are putting these signs at the ends....< and > , make sure to leave a space between the words "font" and "color" only.

    It almost worked!I just couldn't get my name with hearts. It printed, &hearts, then my name Thanks anyway. I can at least change the font colors,that is if I remember how to do it again! LOL! HUGS!! Cathy

    Okay here it goes
    You have to type in a code, once that's done then everything after that will be in color. Try it by clicking on preview before you post. Here's the code, just remember to put a space between the word "font" and "color" or it wont' work.

    < fontcolor=red>
    (remember to put the space in between the word's font and color,but no where else.)
    (oh sorry I said that already:)

    As for the hearts ands spades and stuff, first you type in the "&" symbol, then type in the word "hearts" and then put a semi colon. Do all this with no spaces, then type your name, and preview it. You could type in clubs or spades or any one of the 4 suits.

    & hearts ; (but no spaces)

    To make things bigger just type the word "big" as many times as you want in between these things<> and then put the font color code after that.

    < big>< big>< big>< fontcolor=green> Just remember no spaces except between the words font and color.

    I hope that made sense, it's really not that copmplicated, and it really is cool!

    Okay, I'm giving it a try

    only space between Font and color.... IT WORKED!

    You are NOT alone Claudia
    I thought I was the only one who wasn't able to figure out how all that fancy-smancy stuff is done. I swear I've tried everything ... over and over ... and even tried writing something "fancy" in WORD and cutting and pasting ... but still got plain old black ...

    Y'all are just a bunch of show-offs!!! (but I'm still jealous and upset that I can't figure it out. I'll blame it on the computer ... because it couldn't possibly be the chemo brain ... could it?)

    I give up :-(

    hugs.

    It's nice to have a teenager around sometimes!!
    She know all kinds of tricks, I can barely type and get lost watching her fingers race around the keyboard. Remember the old day's? When I was in junior high I had to take a class in typing and answering the phones (which I never really mastered) and it was on a manual typewriter! These days day the kids don't even have to take a typing class and can type like crazy!

    I still am really confused~
    I still am really confused~ does this happen "magically" by doing the < and the font color preference> etc etc, ditto the hearts or does one have to first go to the web site someone wrote about a few postings back and start from there??? And once a person knows how to make a heart, how would they know how to make anything else???? And, if a person does figure out how this works, and it is magic, does the typing show up in the color of choice BEFORE you hit
    Post Comment, or is it all a surprise? I think I am regretting even asking....LOL

    You just have to play with it for awhile
    Just remember to use all the symbols without spaces ecept were the words "font" and "color" are. For the hearts just type & hearts ; with no spaces and then you name right after

    you'll get it !!!!!!!!!!
