Is there a site that would provide html codes for me to change the font in things such a bullitens on Myspace? I don't want the basic fonts. I was looking for things like cursive..Thank you.


just put what you want in the font tags
is cursive
if the person reading the page doesn't have the font installed on THEIR computer, they will see the default font(which is usually times new roman). There is nothing you can do to change that. So if I do
I will see text in proggyclean font, but since I installed that font, everyone else will see it in times new roman. So you're stuck with the windows fonts. Here's a long list of the windows fonts:

I just downloaded some fonts from dafont.com
and I didn't open them or anything I just saved them to my computer
how can I use them?
i dont have photoshop...

I made a handy installer for you:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZGHXUCUC
first extract the files from the zip files, then run fontinstall.bat in the same folder as the extracted files. Here's how to do it without the installer:

First double-click the zip file and drag out the ttf file. Then put the ttf file in C:\windows\fonts. They will appear in applications like word in the font list. You don't need the zip file or the txt file in it anymore.

The person below me assumes you have a program like winrar. If you don't their method won't work, but mine will.

is it wrong if you watch porn ? if u like watch it on the internet can you like get arrested (i dont think you can but i heard some 1 say you could) thanx

No, its not wrong. If you're under 18 it might be illegal, but not if you're over 18. The age laws change by state and country, too.

What's Buddhism and some of the ideas? I think I might want to convert. A friend said they are a lot happier since reading about it.

http://www.religioustolerance.org/buddhism.htm
that will tell you everything you need to know. This part of that article might be especially informative:
http://www.religioustolerance.org/buddhism4.htm
my personal belief is that Buddhists are nice people and the religion teaches good morals but many things, such as what happens after you die, isn't true. Basically some guy(the Buddha) made all this stuff up a long time ago.

ugh this sounds so wrong, and im so embarrased to write this. here goes.

i'm 13, and for a long time i've been.. well.. touching myself, and I guess masterbating. ever since I was like 5 or 6. I have no idea how it started.. and I didnt know what I was doing then, but I felt like it was horrendously wrong. Even now I do. I'm pretty ashamed of it, and I wish I hadnt done this so young, and learned some other things from bad places on the internet. I dont do the other things, but I know they're there. I'd rather be blissfully unaware till I was an adult and could handle it. But apparently I already know, and I dont wanna know any more. anyway, with the masterbating thing, i'd get some sort of object.. like cushions (i'd put them in the washer after), once a barbie doll (yes. i know. but im not a lesbo, I was like 8.), and like teddybears and stuff. It feels good, and sometimes I get horny and feel like doing it. All the time say it will be the last time, but its never the last time. I end up doing it again. So far, nobody has caught me or even known about it for all these years... I've been keeping it a secret. It even feels weird to post it here.. I've never told anyone about this, because I've been afraid... I mean.. how would they react? they'll think I'm some dirty little girl.. which is not how I act, though sometimes I may think a perverted thought.. because well.. I've heard it from other people online and IRL so I knew what they meant. I just dont know what to do.. I dont wanna like confess it to the world.. and im not even sure confessing it during church (which I hardly go to, because of my family's busy schedule.. but I wish I did. and im a christian.). its kinda scary.. because i doubt other kids do it, or even know what it is at my age (except for alot of boys) so at times i feel kinda... like.... wacko, and not normal. i know nobody is normal, but.. seriously nobody else really does this.. unless they keep it a secret, but I kinda doubt it. also, i forgot to say, that i got my period like right after my 10th birthday. I had it like a couple months before we had the talk about "periods and puberty" and stuff.. so I had no idea what I'd done, when I went to the bathroom and found blood in my pants. I thought that I either burst my bladdar, or it was because of me like.. humping stuff. then I had a problem with having really long periods lasting like more than week, so I went to the doctor, and the doctor and my mom asked if I'd put anything up "down there" or anything.. and I'm like "no", but I felt kinda pressured, like at any moment my cover would be blown. its so crazy.. i could go on about that.. but this is getting long already. sorry if i like disgusted you or anything, but like thanks alot for your help with your reply.

also, how do you know if your cherry has popped? could it happen from like.. doing what I've been doing? I hope not! I wanna be a virgin till I'm married..

There are 2 kinds of people, those that masturbate those that lie. It's perfectly normal and nothing to be ashamed of.

i have the lgcu500, and i was wondering if i got the USB cable that connects to my computer, could i just transfer songs to my phone? or do i need a certain program?

usually when you connect the phone to the computer, the phone will appear as a drive in "my computer". You drag files into that drive, or into a certain folder on that drive. I haven't used that particular phone, but that's how it usually works.

Hi!

My computer was recently having some virus problems so my uncle -the computer wiz- came and deleted everything. i had a lot of important things on that. i was wondering how to get lexmarks all in one center back.

i really need it!!

any help is greatly appreciated!
♥ Flaggal

p.s. if it is free that would be awesome and a link to know where to download it would be GREAT

go to http://lexmark.com then "drivers and downloads" then "drivers and software" then find your printer. Then click the software tab. It'll be in there.

how do you get rid of your website history?

Go to tools>internet options>clear history. You can also set the "save history" to 0, so it only saves history for a day. You should note that it's easy to recover deleted history if someone really wanted to. If you use Firefox go to tools>clear private data. If you use Firefox you can also download the stealther extension, which actively removes all private data:

13/F

I was thinking of downloading Limewire (just to get songs unavailable on iTunes), and I have a couple questions about it:

-How easy is it to get a virus from it?
-How easy is it to get in legal trouble for using it?
-Does it slow down your computer?

Thanks in advance :)

-It's very easy to get a virus, and a virus protector wont always protect you
-If the government or the RIAA finds out that you download with it, you will face fines and possibly prison time. The probability is low that you would get caught, but the fines are huge.
-The program will slow down your computer as much as any other program.
Instead of limewire you should consider using bittorrent, which is similar to limewire but is generally safer to use and of better quality. Here's my bittorrent guide:

so i had downloaded Corel PSPXI and i loved it!! but my trial ended. i got advice that if i set the date back on my computer to before it ended, i could continue using it for as long as i wanted. this worked for a couple weeks, but now its stopped! ive set the date back 3 times today, earlier and earlier, but it still pops up saying that i have 0 days left in the trial. is there anything else i can do? i cant buy the program.

if not is there another photoshop i can get a free trial of that has the blemish fixer and teeth whitener effect?

thanks.

With some practice you can get the same or better effects with the GIMP. Here's my guide:

Ever since i was born i was always the one in the family that didn't fit in. and it's coming close to a year since my mum and dad split..for the past year, i've stuck with my mum and helped her with everything...her divorce sorting out her finances..i've even skipped school to go see her solicitor with her. And whilst that was going on, my brother was doing drugs, smoking, and drinking.
And i guess i can't cope anymore...i try so hard to please my mum, get top grades and help her out, but all she can do is favour my brother over me..my brother practically rules the house, anythings he doesn't agree with has to change and everything he wants to do he does.
So..I'm on the verge on suicide because no-one in my family can give me the time of day and i spend all my day trying to please them.
P.s no matter what happens i am cutting my brother out of my life totally..i don't care about him at all, he's a mirror image of my dad and trust me that isn't a good thing.
Any ideas on what i can do to try and make me stop feeling like this. and don't bloody recommend counselling :|

Your family doesn't matter, don't try to please them or anyone else. If you want good grades, get good grades, if you don't then don't. You should live your life according to your own wants. You'll make mistakes and poor choices, but in the end you'll be able to say that they were your choices, not someone else's; that it's your life.

Could someone have a computer program or a thing that would let someone know about what website a person visits or what they do on their computer?

yes, it's very possible. it's really easy actually. Here's some programs that do that:
http://majorgeeks.com/downloads6.html
most of those are shareware, though there are some free. There are ways to do that which make it almost undetectable and unremovable. Ask me a private question if you need help with something specific.

I've been using windows movie maker to make videos and frankly, it sucks, especially on my laptop. it lags, it freezes, etc etc and it's a pain-in-the-ass to use in editting.
So i'm wondering does anyone know a better video/movie making/editting program? Maybe one i can download free (if not its okay)? I have to make a video for an end of the school year project so any suggestions asap would be amazing!

thank you!

it'll ask you "do you mean...", don't click that. The key in finding things is using complex search terms like OR and not(-)

How come people write double 'and' symbols? And why? example: peaches && cream. What's with the '&&' ??

thanks. I know this must sound stupid!

In javascript and other scripting/programming languages, && is the operator for and. So i=0 means i is less than or equal to 5 AND greater than or equal to 0. That's my theory on how that originated.

well i reallly need a good photo editing program. & it has to be free or at least a 30 day free trial & i already used my 30 day free trial for paint shop pro so i cant download that one. id really like a program that could maybe do something like this; http://i11.tinypic.com/2pz0329.jpg

Here's my guide on installing and using the GIMP:
http://www.advicenators.com/talkaboutmetopic.php?t=98&userboard_id=38985
for the picture you mentioned, the person just took one picture, blanked out the mirror, and put another picture in a layer below it. Ask a private question if you want an in-depth guide, but you should be able to figure it out.

earlier people on here were telling me that if you mix baking soda and water together then put it on your face is will dry up your pimples. Does this really work?

and someone also said putting alcohol on them will make them go away.

I might have been the one to tell you that. Baking soda and water definitely works, I've used it myself, and it got rid of a bad zit in one night. It shouldn't be harmfull for delicate skin. I've never used rubbing alcohol, but that should work. Yes, both of them will dry out your skin, but that's the point; that's what gets rid of the zits. Most people have hydrogen peroxide lying around, and that will work better than alcohol, without drying your skin.

hey i saw you answer on makeing something mp3 file and i was wondering if you knew what file type itunes was under if you can help it would be very nice

Itunes doesn't let you play the music you bought in any other player except the ipod. It was in the terms of service you agreed to when you signed up for itunes. It's illegal to do it. It's possible, however. Search:
