You're a coder?

LOL, thanks!

And yes, very much sticky worthy!

@J&R S.: I am an attorney with a very large professional website. Thus, although I'm not a coder, I need to know this stuff.

Of course, my "motivation" for posting here was just challenged because I am a woman married to another woman. So you can judge for yourself whether I have devious motivations for posting tips on how to do HTML code. ;-)

Ah, I don't do anymore web design than I need to. I'm an attorney as well, but luckily, I am not in charge of keeping up my agency's website!

The real question is, how did you manage to post the coding without it, you know, being coded?

@Shana R.: That was indeed the most difficult part. It basically involved using ASCII code for the opening brackets, but not the closing ones. Using the ASCII code for both or neither resulted in the code being coded--it had to be just one.

Soooooo.... you're a genie? Yes. A woman married to another woman genie. I willl be sure to alert all of the authorities.

@Angela D.: You've got me! It's all very well for me to be married to another woman, but this business of HTML coding in public is an obvious threat to Civilization As We Know It.

LOL! It would be one thing if it was civilization as we know it. But you've gone and capitalized it!!! We're all doomed!

Shut up! are you kidding me? I do this same stuff for the company I work for...I didn't know you could use the same things in forums! SWEET! Thanks!

Does that mean you can do colors too??

Yes, you can do colors. However, I didn't want to put that in the main post, because a lot of colored fonts end up being hard to read.

Dang it! I wish I remembered the HTML coding I learned in my HS comp class 10 years ago...I would remember the codes for my colors then!

Oh, all right! LOL I can't make the codes show up as codes in a reply. But I've edited the main post to add colors.

this is a test

awesome

Okay Test:

This should be bold

and italicized

well that was green. So maybe coral?

Well I think I've got it. Thank you!

Only certain colors are defined in HTML. Here is a list:

Coral is one of them, but peach is not. Perhaps you were thinking of PeachPuff?

NICE
