Now, to use Dogster to its utmost, you only need to know a little HTML. I am going to list here some basic commands for you. Please visit our page in the menu on Links to get that info. To get a lot of great stuff on simple HTML, go to this link http://text.mbif.net/basichtml.html. It will give you a lot of code to do cool things. You will be given it to simply copy and past, but because you now know how it works, you will waste less time. Notice at the link that they give the command for bold as <B>. This is fine, but know that some older browsers don't read that command. I always use <STRONG> as a rule, so that I know that everyone out there can get the right thing on their screen, so matter how old their computer. For either one, remember you need the turnoff commands as well, </STRONG> or </B> .
How did I make my text a different color?. Well, it is fun, but a little more complicated. All text is black, unless you tell it with a command to be a different color. To make Sheila' note above green, I coded:
<font color = "# 339933">
It is important to use the quotes where directed and the number sign. It is also important to remember the turnoff command: </font color>
The color numbers can be found HERE. Some colors can be written, #BLUE inside quotes, #NAVY, but many won't work in every browser, so it is better to use the number, if you want everyone to see your special effects.
To change font size, use:
<font size = " + 1"> for example, or + 2 or + 3. Likewise, to shrink it you can use - 1, etc. Remember the turnoff! </font size>
<P> - New paragraph. Skips one line between paragraphs. No turnoff.
Here are some more common commands you can post beside your computer, like I did, until I knew them by heart.
<BR> - New line. Skips no line between. No turnoff.
<STRONG> - Bold.
<EM> - Italics.
<CENTER> Move to center.
&# 33 - Exclamation point.
&# 63 - Question mark.
&# 58 - Colon.
&# 59 - Semi-colon.
&# 45 - Dash (minus sign).
&# 40 - First in a set of parenthesis, (
&# 41 - Second in a set of parenthesis, )
&# 34 - Quotation marks - same for beginning and end.
&# 39 - Apostrophy
&# 38 - Ampersand, & . Can also be written as & .
