re: changing the color of text on certain words & phrases in BLOG editing

When I post on my bravenet Blog I'm unable to my knowledge to change the color of my font during the editing version of making my post. How do you change the colors of the fonts? I'm stuck with yuck blue and I need some of my bold text to stand out. Thanks

do you know css? ( cascading style sheets)

here is an example code:

h2 {color:red}

re: changing the color of text on certain words & phrases in BLOG editing

It's a little tricky to do, but it can be done.

When you are editing your post, select the text that you want to change the color, and select one of the fonts. This will wrap a <span> tag with a font definition around the text. Then switch to the "Code Editor" mode, find the tag, and modify settings. For example, if you had the word "RED" and you set the font, the code might look like the following, in the code editor.

<span style="font-family: Arial;">RED</span>

To change the color, modify the code to read like this:

<span style="font-family: Arial; color: red;">RED</span>

When you switch back to the Visual Editor mode, you should see the color change. If you don't really want the font change, remove it from the code and just leave the color definition.

<span style="color: red;">RED</span>
