Font Faces
If you want to change the kind of font that you are using to write with on your page, you can use five basic fonts on the Internet. This means that they usually work on all computers, and you should have no problem when other people read it. The five fonts are;
Arial
Times New Roman
Courier New
Georgia
Verdana
To change the font face [as it is called], you simply use this code;
Just replace 'FONT FACE TYPE' with the actual font face you want to use. If the font face name has spaces in it, be sure to include those spaces! Get creative!
Font Colouring
So you want to colour your text?
Well; I know that those are super cool, so I have created a page pretty much dedicated to colouring your text. Cool, eh? Yes. But first, you need the code of course. To change the colour of a font, simply use this basic code;
Do not take out the number sign when using this code. All you need to do is replace the word "number" with the number code. To find the number code that you wish to use, just check out the
Colours page! Take the code generated, which will be a six digit number, and replace the word "number" with that code. Simple!
Scroll Boxes
On MySpace, some people tend to write a lot of information about themselves. Are you one of those people? Then a Scroll Box is what you need. You can write tons, and tons of text about yourself, and it won't take up any room on your page at all. It will all stay in these boxes, it just depends on what size one you choose. There are three basic box sizes, but you can always change the sizes of them, if you know how to use HTML. Anyways, here they are;
Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here. Your text here.
