How do I make things in color?

hope I can do this right...I know how...it's a matter of doing it so you can SEE how I'm doing it LOL

okay here goes....

to do it like this you....

[colorblue]<<put an equal (=) sign between the WORD color and the color NAME (here it's blue).....type what ya want in that color then on the other end ya put [/color] don't forget the "/" (slash mark) like I still do sometimes...it won't work if ya don't to make it a different color, just type the color name where "blue" is up there^^^^ and don't forget the equal sign.

and to make it BOLD like this...you just...

you do the color thing like above but add and around both sides of the color thingie from above-see how the word "and" is bold? that's because of the brackets around it

hope this was clear enough....I previewed my post and it made sense to me and the color were in the right spots...if ya preview your post beforehand, it'll show ya if ya made a mistake....god knows I'd have had some FUNKY looking post if I hadn't!! if ya still need help...feel free to PM me okay?

hi mom and to you too gwen

Maybe I can try to explain

When you're replaying/posting new, you'll be in a window for edit/typing [I don't know what this windows name ]
You'll see Code button, and click on Normal Mode.
Now type anything you want first.
Choose/highlight what word you want to be bold/color or both. There's a button/pulldown menu you can choose. And then Preview post.
If you don't like it, you can change by highlight that word, including the [/B] at beginning and ending or [color=xxx]
Try it, and you can also do with your signature

oh, i didn't notice these features before


thanks a lot to both of you

to make your post look like this you do the following...don't know why I made it sound harder in an earlier post...brain fart I guess lol tried to put this at the bottom of the post...danged if I COULDN'T get it to work right so I put it up here

actually its alot easier to learn how to do it if you put it on the "guided mode"....
Guided Mode
Normal Mode
^^^this is at the top left of when you hit the add reply button...


Hit the "B" button and ya get this...[B]undefined[B] (there's a / in front of the second B )I backspace the "undefined"out then choose my color... [COLOR=blue]

THEN type what ya want, and don't forget to put [color] (and don't forget the "/" in front of color at the end--lol I used to) right behind the end of what you're typing (right in front of the [B]<<has a slash in front of it too--to make it bold) if ya do it right it looks like this...

^^^^look up there at the beginning of my post

it's fun to teach him in this way
LOL
