This is the tutorial for using html to change your font. This might come in handy for your signature as well as your messages.

You may be asking yourself, why would I want to change the font? Well, a couple of reasons that I can think of… because it makes your words stand out and it can be fun! Here's how….

One important thing to remember is, with a few exceptions, you must add an opening tag and a closing tag. When I refer to a tag, I mean something that looks like this <tag>. If you don't add a closing tag </tag> it will not accept the changes.

Another important thing to remember when using html in your message, you must check the html box before submitting your message or all you will see is the code typed out. Also, when using html in a message, you will be unable to use emoticons or other ezcodes.

With that said, let's move on.

Say you wanted to write a sentence and make it bold face. You would type something like this:

<b>I want this sentence to be bold!</b>

You would get these results: I want this sentence to be bold!

You can also use the tags <i></i> for italics, <u></u> for underline. You can use a combination of more than one if you like. For example, if you want a sentence to be bold and italic you could type this:

<b><i>This sentence is bold and italic!</i></b>

You would get these results:
This sentence is bold and italic!

Just remember, that whatever opening tags you have, you must have closing tags as well and they must have the / in front of the letter.

You could also add tags to just specific words in your sentence. Say you wanted to make the word "stop" stand out. You could type something like this:

I wish you would <b><i>stop</i></b> bugging me!

You would get these results: I wish you would stop bugging me!

The only words that are changed are those located inside the opening and closing tags. Easy, huh?

Now, you can also change the size of the font.

To change the size you would type this tag at the beginning of your message :

<font size="x">text to change</font>

"x" will be replaced by a number or a number with a  minus (-)  sign in front of it depending on how big or small you want. So let's say you wanted to make the font larger. You  could type something like this:

<font size=6>This is big lettering!</font>

You would get these results:
This is big lettering!

If you wanted something smaller, you could type something like this:

<font size=-2>This is so small!</FONT>

You would get these results:
This is so small!
