The thing that i need help with is making the text different colours.
How do I make the text red? or orange? or blue?
I've looked for help but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone else know something that could help me?

Could it be the wrong number? Try a variant of the number.

Nah, that wouldn't make a difference. She'd still get some sort of color.

Iono why it's not working. I guess make sure you didn't leave any accidental spaces in?

Maybe something is wrong with the code previous to where you're putting the font colour code.
It's happened to me before, try puttin all the codes in your About Me down the bottom, then type everything above it?

If that makes sense Shifty

HEY! I think the reason why it's not working is because you're not supposed to put spaces!!

<fontcolor=insertcolor>color</fontcolor>

Just a suggestion. =]

Actually, that's not true. In HTML, you are allowed to put spaces between 'font' and 'color'. That shouldn't matter.

I would suggest the problem lies with any other HTML or CSS coding you may have (or have had) on your myspace. Do you have a layout in place, or is it just the default?
