It's kind of like putting in a picture, it's a code that web browsers see.
You surround the text with a "begin-color" code, and an "end-color" code.
begin color code is this:
<FONT COLOR="#0033ff"> (that one makes blue writing)
end color code is this:
</FONT>
Notice that the characters enclosing the code are different from the picture codes:
it's "< >" instead of "[ ]"
There's actually a website that shows the codes for lots of colors, that's at
http://home.i1.net/~dwolfe/hexmixer/
Use the *first* code in each pair on those pages (not the codes in parentheses) and remember the preceeding # sign and quotes around the code.
For the adventurous: explanation for the color codes
The code consists of 3 parts, one for each of the color components: red, green, blue.
Each color can have a value of 0 through 255. But those values are expressed in 'hexadecimal' number format.
That means each digit in the code can be
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e, or f.
the code "#0033ff" means:
red=00, green=33, blue=ff (255).
That gives a nice blue color.
If you made that "#ff00ff", it would be:
red=ff (255), green=00, blue=ff (255)
which makes a kind of bright fuschia.
As someone discovered a while ago, you can combine this with the <font size=n> command to make big or small colored text, as in:
<font size=5 color="#99ff00">Big Lyme green</font>
which makes: Big Lyme green

Thanks for the lessons, Dan! [This message has been edited by badkitti30043 (edited 27 October 2002).] [This message has been edited by badkitti30043 (edited 27 October 2002).]
My example was poorly written. That should read: <font color="blue"> blue writing here </font> And in yours, you didn't have a space between the words 'font' and 'color'. Now you've edited it... yes, it worked, good job! [This message has been edited by danq (edited 27 October 2002).]

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 -- Charging that the Bush administration cannot credibly investigate itself, Democrats are calling for an independent probe of accusations that senior White House officials revealed the identity of a CIA agent to syndicated columnist Robert Novak in violation of a federal law barring identification of covert operatives. Meanwhile, the husband of the agent whose name was made public, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson IV, leveled the finger of suspicion at White House political adviser Karl Rove, telling MSNBC TV on Monday, ``My sources tell me that at a minimum Mr. Rove condoned it.''
