Color Fonts

So let's say I want to make the words green. How do I do it? I have found the color palate but somehow I can't get it right. I usually click the color then type the words as usual and then click the color again or not.

Type in the text you want, then hilight it (click and drag over it with your mouse) and choose the color you want by clicking it on the color palate. Then the text you hilighted will be wrapped in the color tags and when you preview or post it, it will be in the color you wanted.

Kinda fun to play with.

Now you are a color pro!

Whew - I can see how that could get addictive (and annoying ) after a while. Looking forward to your colorful posts!

Hey that is neat! Now here is my stupid question where is the color palate located or does it appear after you highlight ? As I have said all along I know nothing about a computer so yes, I'm not to swift & I make tons of mistakes but I continue to try & learn. I'm trying to prove grandma's can learn after 60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks

When you are in the screen where you are typing your post, you will see several options above the place where you type. There are options for bolding, underlining, making a hyperlink, etc. Right next to the one that says "sizes" is on that has a capital A with a down arrow. If you click the down arrow, you will get a popup with all the colors to choose from. Hilight your text before clicking the down arrow, choose a color and Viola!

Hope that helps.
