Otto Subversive Agent <style>body{color:#775555;}</style> Type that where you would normally type your name. It should turn the background maroonish. 040615 ... Otto Subversive Agent I lied - that actually turns it a muddy color. instead of #775555, use #601525 for a maroonish. Or you can use common color names, like white, black, red, blue, green, yellow, etc. But the #000000 format gives you better control. It is in the form of #RRGGBB, where RR indicates the red level, GG indicates the green level, and BB indicates the blue level. The values are in hexadecimal, and range from 00 to FF, where 00 is completely off and FF is completely on. #000000 is black, #FFFFFF is white. #FF0000 is red. And so on. 040616 ... oh, so thats where you type that crap. hm. watch me still manage to screw this up... 040616 ... ok. its gonna work now. so you really cant use html there, huh? 040616 ... kk 040616 ... dosquatch Not and have a page-wide effect.
