No you cant. To do that, you just go to my aim, then to edit my profile. To make it bold,press the thick letter B, to underline, press the button next to it, etc. etc. To make subscript, or superscript, right click, on text, style, then which ever you want. They probably will one day, but until then, we just have to deal :)

I don't know if it would work, you'll just have to try it and find out. To change the cursor, put style="cursor:type" in the tag you you want it to affect. Replace type with one of these:

crosshair
pointer
move
e-resize
w-resize
n-resize
s-resize
nw-resize
ne-resize
se-resize
sw-resize
text
wait
help

Or you can import a .cur file from a URL using
style="cursor:url('location.cur')"
Make sure you use http:// if the URL is located on the internet. Custom cursors don't always work; they don't work in firefox.

So if you want a link to show a crosshair when being hovered over, it looks like this:
<a href=[Link](Mouse over link to see full location) style="cursor:crosshair">link text</a>
If you want the entire page to show the cursor, put it in the body tag:
<body style="cursor:crosshair">

Here's what the cursors look like:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

I personally think different cursors are almost always annoying, and you'd probably be better off without them.
