writing in color?

It worked the first time, but it had some words in front of it???

That shows that you have an "open" tag for the font, but no "close tag" [/font] so that's why that text shows.

For everything you do to text there needs to be an "open tag" - like "[color = red] without the spaces, and a "close tag" - [/color]

I think I've got it now--thanks!
