h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My Space is looking really dull. How do I change the font and colour of writing to make it an ickle bit more appealing? Thanking you! A -x-

Wazu made this handy little page with font colors on..

If you want to use a colour, eg the first one, do
Insert text

If you want to make it bigger do
Insert text
7 is the largest it goes, it's normally set at 3.

For different fonts try
Insert text
It's a bit hit and miss what fonts work though, trial and error is the best way. You can find the names by looking at the ones on a word processing character.

Hope this helps

Just be aware that not everyone will have the same fonts as you, even if you stick to the ones that come with Windows, because not everyone's using Windows. Macs come with a different font set, UNIX generally comes with a terrible set of fonts, and there's no telling what people running Linux will have - they might have a set of Windows-like TrueTypes, or they might have a set of UNIX-like bitmap monstrosities. So be aware that if you choose a font like "Curlz MT", not everyone's going to see it in that font - they might get Times instead.

You can specify preferences, like Text here
(I think this is how you do it,please correct me if I'm wrong) which means that if the browser has Georgia, it uses that, or otherwise it uses Times new roman, or if it doesn't even have that it uses a serifed font.

That's right, Joanna!
I've never seen Wazus page before, but it's good! Here's another one:

Yes Joanna, and a very useful thing it is too.
