This sounds a lot like a psych project on 'forbidden fruit' I went through once. Funny, fell for that one too...

Mudjack:

Apparently you do what I often do: neglect the darned slash mark before the final bracketed "b" that closes off the "bold" - I often do it with italics, too, and today I even left it off of the final bracketed "a" on a "blue clickety thingy" so that the blues ran clear to the end of the posting! Well, it's supposed to be a "blues and folk" site, ain't it? I was just spreading the blues around!

Hi,

I'm sure you already have this.. but just in case.. here is the HTML thread where all was explained.. and where I learned the blue clicky things from..... tells you how to do most of it.

I printed out the info and kept it close to the computer for a long time... helped a lot..

Centering is very easy:

<center>Centered Text</center>

Right-aligning is a little bit more difficult:

<p align="right">Right-Aligned Text</p>

Amazing. This thread asking us to ignore it as it was about nothing has turned into something.

Thanks Sandy, I soon discovered the / after my last failure, It's amazing all you can see when you put your glasses on.So on this test it should have only your name flashing in the beginning.I'm feeling pretty brave now, lookout Mudcat world, I'm armed with a dangerous weapon,namely knowledge of some "How To PC HTML Stuff".

WOW THIS IS NEAT

Isn't it neat how never a day goes by that we can't learn something new? Yet I fear I have reached the age where I forget twice as fast as I learn!Which means that soon I'll be half as smart as I once was!!

In true folkie fashion, I just borrow info on how to do

HTML

tags from people's web pages.

If you have MS Exporer (or, I think, Netscape) you can
click "view" then "source," and see what the tags are.

(My apology if this ends up looking like do-do.)

The rest of Banjer's message:"...HREF= statement. Do try again and share your story with us, please. Jeri, I wanted to see how you did the HTML in yellow with the border, but in decoding your message it seems to skip a lot of the parts. I am using Netscape. Any thoughts?"

If you still can't see this with Netscape:
In Netscape, you can click on "file," then "save as." Stick it someplace on your hard drive and name it something so you'll be able to find it again.
Then open Notepad, click "file," then "open."
Go to the little bottom window thing with the arrow and click on "all files," find where you stuck the file and open it.

What I did was insert a table. I confess I cheated and used MS Front Page, although you can do it without.

HTML

Fancy:

Stuff to do

when you don't

have a job

Less color, but more squares:

Your State's	Name Here, or
try putting	a blue clicky thingy

The number signs with text or numbers ("#FFFFFF" or "#FFFF00") is a color. Best to swipe these (I mean borrow) off other people's web pages. You can do "view," "source," then highlight what you want, copy and steal...I mean paste it. Colors are public domain :-)

In case of "404," the website's at http://www.cgrg.ohio-state.edu/~spencer/FF/index.html

I checked the message out by saving it as HTML and looking at it with MSIE - worked fine. There's something I don't understand going on if it's still messed up.

Hi, Bodhi - HTML Goodies (click) will help you with colors and all sorts of other good stuff. Just look on the menu on the left for colors.
Seems that Netscape and MSIE accept words for colors now, so I wonder what's left that requires us to use those awful codes for colors.
