Roger in Sheffield,

Believe it or not, those are my failures. I decided to give it a rest for a while before continuing.

Hesperis gave me the codes, but since, in this case we are working with light, rather than pigment, trying to figure it all out was making my brain hurt.

This is what she told me:

"Color is defined by Red, Green, and Blue values, in this order: 00 00 00,
and by least to most values.

numbers in order of least to most:
0123456789ABCDEF

Red is #FF FF 00, the FF is the biggest value of red and the least value of the other two, which makes pure red.

Yellow is #FF FF 00, which is red+green at the highest value, and blue at the least. (It's usually to bright for a white background, and looks really ugly if you try to make it darker

A good orange for the Mudcat is #FF 66 00

Azure is #00CCFF
Dark Green is #006600
Dark Red is #CC0000
Pale Green is #00CC99
Palest Green is #CCFFCC, which doesn't show up too well here.
Dark Yellow is #CCCC00
Purple Mud is #663399
Burgundy is #990000"
Hesperis' favorite purple is #990099
If you want more information, as you can see if you look further up in this thread, she says she will be happy to help you out.

Good luck, Carol

Roger, I made a mistake on the Red. It should read "#FF 00 00".

Carol, I've just spotted what is a mistake in your previous post. You have described red correctly in your text but you should have quoted FF 00 00 as the value.

I've just come back to ask. It must be really easy to produce a colour chart then. Does anyone know where.....
As I said a little slow!
Thanks I'll go look at that chart

I take it, then, that quotes are optional here. I always knew that you couldn't mix it, and I thought that some sites didn't recognise the 'non quotes' format.

Ha ha. Two less characters to type.
My day is made.

And as always, thank you Joe, and Pene, and persons unknown, for being the silent ones behind our screens, who do the cyber leg work and the troubleshooting, and tighten those virtual nuts and bolts.

There's a link to all of this stuff in the Mudcat FAQ, but it's - br - surrounded by <'s,.... well you've figured that out. Do the same, except with - p - and you have a paragrarh break.

Like that. Otherwise just hit return twice.

Like that.

(that was done with the - p.)

Please don't use the <p> when posting lyrics. Also use <br><br> when posting lyrics, rather than the carriage returns. It makes life much easier for the lyrics harvesters.

Just for clarification, Pene.
Do you mean that 'p' should not be used at all in posting lyrics, like for instance, when separating verses?

What difficulties do you come up with when 'harvesting' them? (great term!)

What other practices would you suggest we adhere to to make the job a bit easier for you?

Brendy, I'm not a harvester myself, but according to Joe, you should not use the <p>, but use <br><br> instead. I find it easiest to put a <br> at the end of each line and another between verses. Joe recently posted this guide on posting lyrics.

Yeah, I saw that, Pene. I was more wondering about the - br - br - vs - p - thing, though. And of course, any other things that might be un forseen.

At least I know, now. Any time I've posted lyrics, I've normally used - p -.

Those days are over. *BG*

Brendy, considering all of your contributions around here, I'm sure the harvesters can overlook a few <p>s :^)

This last one doesn't work because you used http; instead of http:

In the prior one, you left out the http:// altogether.
