These tags will work on myspace and many other sites. In forums that use BBcode, use [b] for bold, [i] for italics [color=coloryouwant] for color. You can use the buttons in wordpad, MSword, or openoffice for rich text files, doc files, and opendocument files. You can not change font in text only files. On advicenators, answers in your column and description will apply any html tags you have, but answers on the "view answers" page will show the tags and not be formatted.
Examples:
html(for myspace, your personal sites, and many other things)
<b>this text will be bold</b>this text will be normal<i>italic</i><font color=blue>this'll be blue</font><font color=blue><b><i>this will be bold-italic and blue</i></b></font>
BBcode(for many forums such as phpBB forums)
[b]thisll be bold[/b]thisll be normal[i]italic[/i][color=blue]thisll be blue[/color]
In word and openoffice, click the down arrow on the underlined A to select color, highlight the text you want colored and click the underlined A. Click the B, I or U for bold, italic, or underlined, respectively. Wordpad is the same, except instead of an underlined A there is a small A with a paint brush.

It will take you to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) then go back on advicenators on your column settings and enter the color you want.. it will be a code [ # FFFFF ] I'm not positive how to make bold and italisized but it's something like <italics/> ?!
