Wow !!!!   Well done !!!

Where's the borders ???  There ain't none  ;D

RootsChat doesn't do borders, on the contrary, it tries to break them down and create one big community.
As a sign of it's intentions borders, even on tables are frowned upon ..........

Hi Anna,


Now I can make my posts much brighter

Yes, you can but

Don't go overboard with it !

Overdosing on it can make posts irritating to read, so some people just skip those posts altogether !

Enjoy,
Bob

Well you've taken the first step and broken down the barrier that people wrongly believe is between them and learning HTML.

Although a knowledge of HTML is very useful it is not mandatory in creating web pages/sites there are several programs available which appear to the user to act just like a normal desktop publishing program or word processor and the HTML coding is produced in the background.

Howver when things don't appear to go just as you expected its always handy to have a quick look at the source code and try and work out the problem that way
