Find the desired function below. Cut and paste the template to the area in which you intend to insert HTML. Then delete the colored text and insert the information relevent to the function at hand.

To set a font size, type, and color of a text message:

INSERT TEXT HERE

Helpful hints:

1) Font size is restricted only by the sizes that the hosting platform will support. Placing a "-" will make the font size even smaller than "0"

2) To find examples of how a font will appear: On your PC, go to the "Start" button on your Task Bar:

a) Left click "Start"

b) Select "Settings"

c) Select "Control Panel"

d) Select "Fonts"

e) To view a font, double click your selection. A "Pop-Up" window will open with an example of that font.

Note: Whether or not a particular Font will work depends on the supporting platform. (Example- You are posting a message on a Boardhost message board. You use HTML to change your text's Font to "Comic Sans". If Boardhost doesn't support the "Comic Sans" style of Font, your text will appear as the default type.)

3) The easiest way to find the "color code" is to go www.boardhost.com. (If you have access) Enter the adminstration area and select "Board Appearance". Near the top of that page, you will see a link for a "Color Chart". Click on that link. A "Pop-Up" window will open. Find the desired color and note the 6 digit code which correspondes to that color. Enter that code in the area indicated by the template. Note: The "#" MUST NOT be deleted or the color will remain black.

To include a hyperlink within a specific portion of text, and to modify that portion of text:

text prior to modification and link <A HREF="INSERT LINK URL HERE">INSERT TEXT HERE text after modification and link

To include a hyperlink with in an image:

Helpful hints:

1) Be sure to leave a space after the end of your last sentance, word or punctuation mark, prior to starting HTML code. It not, there will be NO space between the last sentance/word/puncuation mark of the unmodified text and whatever is the result of the HTML code. (Disregard if the is no text prior to the HTML code.)

2) Be sure to insert a space after the end of your HTML code (If there is to be any further unmodified text). It not, there will be NO space between whatever is the result of the HTML code and the unmodified text, which follows.

To align text or an image to the center of a page:

This text is "Center Aligned"

Place the "Opening" tag directly before the text or HTML code for the items to be centered:

Place the "Closing" tag at the end of what it is you want centered:

</center>

Example: <center>INSERT TEXT HERE</center>

Result: INSERT TEXT HERE

Helpful Hint:

Placing the opening and closing "Center Aligned" tag at the begining and end of an image link will result in that image being centered on the page.

Example of how to center an image URL: <center><img src="INSERT IMAGE URL HERE"></center>

To make text BOLD, underlined or italics:

Use the same instruction as with "Center Aligned", except:

INSERT TEXT HERE

INSERT TEXT HERE

INSERT TEXT HERE

INSERT TEXT HERE

Examples:

BOLD TEXT = BOLD TEXT

UNDERLINED = UNDERLINED

ITALICS = ITALICS

BOLD AND ITALICS = BOLD, UNDERLINED AND ITALICS

Helpful Hint:

When using <center>, , , or ANY combination thereof, use MUST place the appropriate "closing tag" where you want the effect to end. If not, everything from the "Opening tag" onward WILL be effected.
