To use HTML, make sure you check the corresponding box beneath the post.
Always remember to make an HTML closing tag </b>, </i>, etc. after you’re done with that specific action, otherwise, that property (such as bold) will continue throughout your hypertext document.
Don’t forget to be exact. If you flub a tag at all, it won’t work properly.
BOLD: <b>text you want bolded</b>
ITALICS: <i>text you want italicized</i>
UNDERLINING: <u>text you want underlined</u>
MARQUEE: <marquee>text you want to move across your screen</marquee>
ADD COLOR: <font color="green">text you want colored</font>
You may replace the word “green” with a variety of different colors, or the six-digit numbers that represent them (ex: "#999999"). For the full range of supported colors, copy and paste this link into your browser and hit enter: http://htmlgoodies.earthweb.net/tutors/colors.html
CENTER: <center>text you’d like centered</center>
STRIKE-THROUGH TEXT: <strike>text you want a line through</strike>
BLOCKQUOTES: <blockquote>text you want block indented</blockquote>
ADD AN IMAGE: <img src=“address of the image, including http://”>
Just a tip, but Angelfire, Tripod, and a host of other web-hosting sites don’t allow you to transfer a picture (with standard .jpg or .gif tags at the end) from their site to any other, so just go in on your hosting service and change the object tag at the end to .txt or something of the like.
So, instead of having:
<img src=“http://www.dummydot.com/coolpic1.jpg”>
as your tag, you’ll have:
<img src=“http://www.dummydot.com/coolpic1.txt”>. Got that?
ADD A WEB LINK: <a href=“addy of the website you want to link to, including http://”>Name Of Website</a>
HORIZONTAL RULE : <hr>
Note: You can change the width of your bar by <hr width=25%> etc.
