<FONT COLOR=RED>will change the color to red.</FONT>
<FONT FACE=MONACO> will change the font face to monaco</FONT>
<FONT SIZE=6> will change the size of the font to '6'</FONT>
<FONT COLOR=RED FACE=MONACO SIZE=6> will do all three.</FONT>
IMPORTANT: Every <FONT> must have a matching </FONT> at the end of the message. On some computers </FONT> will close off all previous <FONT>s-- however -- on most computers it will only close off the most recent...so if you don't close every Font you open, you will effect other messages on the page.

For Angelfire/Geocities Webmasters:
Images at an Angelfire site will not appear anywhere but on an Angelfire page. Instead, the only thing that will appear will be this image:
Provide a link to an Angelfire page with the graphic on it, and we'll look at it there.
Sorry, but there's nothing we can do about it -- Angelfire's the one blocking "remote loading" of their images. Their Explanation FAQ
Geocities also seems to do this occasionally. One way around it that sometimes works:
Rename the file extension from '.gif' or '.jpg' to '.txt'. This may seem strange, but most browsers will realize that it is still a picture, and display it as a picture. But the script that blocks remote loading will be fooled.
