Help with some HTML coding through this website?

[Katie J]

I am trying to update a website that is being hosted by this website.

http://www.rapidweb.info/index.php/A%20t...0of%20HTML

And I looked to that ^ page for help, however, it hasn't helped me a bit. I'm trying to change the font on my website as well as the font color. All HTML codes I've looked up on the internet aren't working with the way this website is already set up to "easily" code things though. I know this all seems confusing, and it is, but if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.(:

Also, I have just about no experience with HTML other than cutting & pasting layout codes onto my Myspace page to make it look cool way back in the day, lol. So please try to put any answers in as simple of a form as possible.... haha. Thanks!(:

Go to codeacademy look it up and take the short HTML course, you should be able to do whatever you need, and it only took me a couple hours

You should have some experience in HTML coding before using it because it gets confusing. You must use a p tag to indicate the paragraph. Then follow with the font tag. Use quotes too. If you wanted your font to be arial 15 point red color it would look like this HTML Code:
<p><font size="15" face="Arial" color="Red"> look here for your font and color, this is where you type the words to populate the attributes then there are end font end paragraph tags </font></p> If you put the end tags before what you are typing it won't work, if you don't do opening tags it won't work. You can put the closing tag anywhere you want the font to stop doing that

generally, websites no longer use the html itself to set things like font colours and the like, this has been surpassed by "css" which is a way of assigning attributes to html tags.

using the older "html only" way is rather clunky and outdated but would work like this:
| <font face="Arial" size="3" color="red">The text between this HTML font tag is displayed using the Arial font, the size is 3, and it's red!</font>

as per the page you linked to, you need that vertical line character in front of the html (see above) - this is unusual but is probably why html you've found online doesn't work.

a note on using "font face" to change the font - this only works if the visitors to your site have the font that you've specified installed on their system, if they don't it'll default to a standard plain font.
