Pimp your Post ! - Part 1


Hi Guys,

presented here is the first of my "tutorials" on how to use HTML in your posts on the Zowie Omega Forum.

This tutorial will cover how to spice up your text a bit. To do this you'll need to use to basic HTML commands.

HTML is not just something that only "Computer Geeks" can use. Anyone can do it. Housewives, pensioners, watch collectors, anyone !


**************************************************************************************

So what do you want to do with your text ?

- Make something Bold ?

You have to simply put <B> before the text & </B> after the text ( if you don't "close" the command.. ALL subsequent text will be Bold. )

eg

I like <B>Omegas</B>     ->     I like Omegas

Simple Eh !

- Underline is done with <U> ... </U>

- Italics is done with <I> ... </I>

- Crossed out is done with <S> ... </S>

**************************************************************************************

- You want to change the colour of your text ? eg make it blue ?

simply put <FONT COLOR="BLUE"> before your text & </FONT> after your text. IMPORTANT here is to spell COLOR without the U ( Even if you are English ! ) AND the ONLY space in that command is between the words FONT & COLOR.

There are a large number of colours available, RED, BLUE, YELLOW, GREEN etc etc but you can also use "DARKBLUE" or "LIGHTBLUE" etc etc

just try it !


**************************************************************************************

- You want to make your text Bigger ?

put <FONT SIZE="+3"> before your text & </FONT> after your text.

You can use other sizes +1 , +2, +3 etc etc.


**************************************************************************************

You want to center the text in the middle of the screen ?

use .... <CENTER> before your text & </CENTER> after your text.


**************************************************************************************

You may combine any /all of the previous commands....

I offer this only as an example ... I don't suggest you try this in your first post !!

so .... <CENTER><B>I have<S>too many</S> <U>NOT ENOUGH</U> <FONT COLOR="RED" SIZE="+3"> Omegas </FONT></B></CENTER>

will appear as

I have too many NOT ENOUGH Omegas


**************************************************************************************

That's the end of the 1st Tutorial.

If you'd like me to try to explain how to do something with HTML, either post here or send me an E-mail.

All the Best

Steve
