Wah!
They got rid of our pretty
discussion on colors on the
forums! And none of it was
even complaining!
Boo hoo hoo.

Well, that really stinks! I had actually bookmarked that discussion so I could learn those neat tricks. Olive Oyl, could you repeat those instructions on italics,bold,etc. and I will immediately print them out for future reference. Thanks.

I might be able to help

for Color:
type < then Font Color=Blue/red/whatever color then >
Like This.

For Bold:
type < b > Bold

For Italics
type < i >
Italics

Until Darlin Olive can explain in a clear manner, this is the way she taught me

and so some other sourpuss doesn't get this deleted because it is not about travel, I am hoping to go to Japan this year ~

Bummer! It was getting too many replies so they figured something was amiss and read the thread. Ok, we can keep this travel related, . We were in Sarasota today snatching up 3 new orchid children for our collection from Selby Gardens. Next time you come for...um...training, you must visit John and Mable's home. It just had a multi-million dollar restoration and is beautiful. Selby Gardens has the most exotic orchids...some just to drool over, but others for sale. With what is happening with IT jobs in these days of out-sourcing, maybe Bozo is really a software engineer, trying to make ends meet! (OK Fodors...please let us play!)

Now...how did you shade your colors out like that? Surely you didn't write code for all that shading??

Scarlett, You've got it. Just put the <> with a b, i or u between those marks in front of what you want to bold, underline, or italizcize, and a </> with a b, i, or u, after the slash, to end the action. No spaces.

This is kind of fun!

Olive! Orchids are so beautiful and so hard to keep alive. Perhaps when we settle down somewhere nice and warm, I can share orchid cuttings with you. I remember the last time we were in Sarasota, we loved the Botanical Gardens.

The tears a clown.

Olive,
Of course, I wrote code to do that! Just not HTML code... I wrote
Perl code! hehe... I wrote it while on a trip to Long Island, NY.
Hah! Now it's travel related!

<red>I've <blue>got <red>to <blue>try <red>it!

Bozo,
how did you make the shading in the first paragraph?
