The main thing is don't overuse or misuse HTML or people will grow tired of it in a hurry, and you will wake up one morning and find that it has all been taken away. When I first discovered HTML, I wanted to use every trick that there was, which pretty much obscured what I was trying to say. Now I mostly just use plain old black on white for practically everything. And of course, whatever you do, remember to close your effects properly, or nasty things will happen! In a chat room, your mistakes (and mine) are fleeting~~here for the moment, and gone in a little while. Mistakes we make here will linger so long that everyone will be sick of seeing them!
