How do some people change the colour of the text in their answer, or make some words appear in bold? Sorry if this is a daft question, but I can't do it!

You need to use a little basic HTML programming....stick with me it's not that hard.

To make something bold you simply put this in front of the word (B) but rather than the ( ) brackets use the< > ones (I have to use different brackets to illustrate or they would disappear)....after the word simply repeat with a / before the B to turn the bold off.

To get other things happening you simply change the letter.....I gives you italics....U gives an underline....and a P will give you a new paragraph.

You can of course go mad with it but the editor frowns upon this sort of stuff butit's good fun every now and again.

For a short course on these and further html 'tricks', click http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primers/basics.html and a link will take you to a website with a set of basic lessons. Just click on the various 'primer' headings once you get there and work your way through them. Good luck!
