dosquatch As far as fonts go, I found that you won't get what you're looking for unless you use one of the generic family names.

* serif
* sans-serif
* cursive
* fantasy
* monospace

Your helpful subversive tip-giver

unlocked 040615
...
spiffy ok now i am just confused. i finaly changed the background color to this ugly green. then it wouldn't let me add anymore and i thought i had somehow broken it. suddenly is says "unlocked" and now i can add something.

i am going insane. and i feel like i am spamming. so i will shut up now.

dosquatch I haven't looked at the source, but you either didn't close your style tag (ie, </style>) or you tried to stuff too much in at once. There's a char limit on how much the "you" field will swallow, but don't ask me what the limit is. I'm not sure.

You can unlock a jammed page by going to another blathe that works, click "blather" and change the title to the stuck page. Then just send a closing tag (see first paragraph), and that's usually enough to unfreeze.

. Damn finger twitch - sorry for the double post. 040616

spiffy are you like the blather-css god?

i just give up.
040616
...
dosquatch No no, not even close. I just recently figured it out myself, mostly by picking apart examples that u24 and minnesota_chris and a couple of others have left lying around. Oh, and I learned a couple of new things when the kx nonsense was going on.

Like, there's some javascript things that you can do that are related, but I don't understand how they work even after looking at the page source. No matter, I'll leave such to the blather_gods. I think I've already peeked behind the curtain too much.

dosquatch spiffy: fonts

body{font-family:fontname}

where fontname can be serif, sans-serif, monospace, fantasy, or cursive

Those are the generic font family names, which means they'll show up prettymuch the same on whatever browser on whatever platform. I suggest sticking to those. You *can* specify a particular font that you have on your machine, and it'll show up fine in your browser, but in most others it'll default back to serif (what you see most of the time)

spiffy i can't read this now. and i shoulda gave up when i was going to. 040616
...
. <style>body{font-family:fantasy}</style>

Try that.
040616

unbreak!! 040616

spiffy i unbroke it!! 040616

spiffy i'm getting better!! thanks dosquatch, by the way. 040616
...
dosquatch coolness - you have learned much, young spiffysan.

No, just like I typed above. Leave out the type "text/css" stuff. The font face will change without it, so it's just wasted characters. I'd say you'd be surprised how fast you can chew through 50 chars, but after all of this, probably not.

i can't read this font. it's just a bunch of little pictures. is it supposed to do that or is it just my browser? 040616
...
spiffy (this font = fantasy) 040616
...
Is this better? 040616
...
spiffy woah... yeah! 040616
...
dosquatch It might just be your browser? Or mine doesn't know how to handle fantasy? Strange... hold on, lemme check something 040616

Otto Weblink This page shows a sample of how the fonts *should* look.

dosquatch Oh, and I set it to sans-serif, BTW. 040616

minnesota_chris there's a limit as to how many style tags you can use on one page, and then it tells you to go to hell and ignores you. 040616
