Fonts

Most sites like to use fonts.  This is just a design choice by the site creator.  If you don't like the normal font you can always change it.  Different operating systems have different fonts so safe practice is to place multiple choices for the fonts so that if your visitor doesn't have the first font they will still see a font of your choice.

<font face="Impact">This is Impact font</font>

- See This Code In Action

You can choose any font face that is available on your computer.  Check microsoft word, down the list of fonts type any of those names in between the quotes and you can change the fonts.

Font Size is another thing that can be changed.  Placing a number between the quotes will change the size to the number you place or you can place a plus (+) or minus (-) sign before a number to increase or decrease the font size.

<font size="8">This is font size 8</font>
- See This Code In Action

<font size="-1">This is font size -1</font>
- See This Code In Action

<font size="+2">This is font size +2</font>
- See This Code In Action

Font color can be changed as well.

<font color="#0000FF">This code makes the font color blue</font>
- See This Code In Action

You can also use the word to define the color although it is recommended that you use the color chart found in the left hand menu to find the color code for the color you want.

<font color="red">This code makes the font color red</font>
- See This Code In Action

Headers

Headers change the size of text and also are given their own lines.  If you notice by the examples below each of the codes you will see that each one is not in line with the rest of the text.

<h1>Text</h1>
- See This Code In Action

The code above creates a header of the word Text.  Simply place any word(s) in place of Text to make them into a header.

<h2>Text</h2>
- See This Code In Action

The code above creates a header of the word Text.  Simply place any word(s) in place of Text to make them into a header.

<h3>Text</h3>
- See This Code In Action
