Colour

I have a couple of questions I'd like to address here.

First: Is it possible to change the colour of your Profile background after it has been changed once before? My Profile background is green, I'd like to change it to blue.

Second question: How does one expose the HTML code so you can see it and replace it with your own?
Or, is this a dumb question.

To access the code, just go into "Edit my history, edit places, then find your code in "Places I've been".

The code will read: < style type='text/css' >
body {background-color: #99FF66}
h2 {color: #006633; background-color: #FFFFCC}
< /style >

change {background-color: #99FF66 to #the shade number you want}

To add a background image over the background color: insert the following in front of the background-color making sure it is between the { }: background-image: url(http: //location of your .jpg or .gif image);

< style type='text/css' >
body {background-image: url(http: //location of file); background-color: #99FF66}
h2 {color: #006633; background-color: #FFFFCC}
< /style >

By the way, for the above code to appear in this message, I had to place a space with the style brackets < >. Any code you use on your profile that changes the background, the fonts, scrollbar, and cursors must be added to the bottom of the "Places I've been" section of your profile, after your text. Leave a double space between your text, and between each code you use.

Hope I answered your questions.

Countryheart, I know you mean well, but that last post kinda read like the grownups in the Peanuts cartoon: blah, blah, blah. Maybe I'm hopeless :o)

Also you can right click on any page and see the html codes by clicking "view source"

It's very difficult to tell how much experience a person has in html; so when I answer a question I don't want to come across sounding condescending should that person have some knowledge. Some people take to following instructions very well, and others not so well. Because of the level of uncertainities into a persons knowledge, I will usually give examples of the code. I'm not an expert in giving instructions to the masses so I don't know how to write instructions that everyone can understand, yet not sound condescending to those who have a little understanding. Even though everyone can see these responses, I typically respond directly to the person asking the question. If they have a problem understanding then I would hope they would reply with another question, or maybe send me a PM for further clarification.

Right clicking to "view source" does expose the code; however, you can't replace the code there. Also, if you don't know what you are looking for to begin with then right clicking is of no use.
