Even if a lot of people are using it, you should try to avoid it, and use styles instead.
Yipes. I have always used the <font> tags, so I probably have lots of errors out there, but I don't think I'll correct any of them until they truly cease to work. Meanwhile I guess I will try to use the "styles". I'm still teaching myself and will probably step on my own whoosit! But let's plod on and look at the following that you/I might place in a post:
<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;color:green">
ALL of it should precede the text to be viewed (green text below). View the Source Code for this post if that isn't clear.)
This is a sentence with some text in it. This is a dizzy sentence with some text in it. This is yet again a sentence with some text in it. This is another sentence with some text in it. This is a sentence with some silly green text in it. This is another silly sentence with some text in it. This is a damn sentence with some text in it. This is a puke-green sentence with some more damn text in it.
That would be too complicated, I suppose, if you needed it for frequent use or intended it for every post. I need to establish it as a CSS description so that it's on tap when I need it. So I'll add
#fs1 {font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:130%;color:green; }
to my template's CSS (cascading style sheets). The "fs1" is just an arbitrary code that I made up; as long as it is repeated in the code below, any word you choose instead will do.
Reference to the #fs1 is placed in the post thus:
<div style id=fs1> text </div>
I have a question, I'm wondering how you do this...this summary thing vs read more in the blog post.
