Don't you just love it when you tell something you don't care about something and then they tell you the exact thing you weren't worried about?

If you want to do something cool with text on a computer, (which isn't cool by definition, but nevermind), then what you'll be needing is a tag. They look like this <>, except that between the two signs goes a letter of some sort. So for example if I wanted to say:

Steph is great!!

what I'd need to write into the little box is
Steph is [b]great!![/b],

except with the triangular tag brackets for square brackets. The first tag makes the writing bold, and the second one stops making it bold.

Other suggestions:

Andrew Flintoff is very attractive

comes from writing

Andrew Flintoff is [i]very[/i] attractive

(but with triangular brackets of course.)

I think Steph is ~~borderline insane~~ quirky

comes from

I think Steph is [s]borderline insane[/s] quirky

Toby is the best

from

Toby is the [u]best[/u].

For pretty colours:

My favourite colour is blue

My favourite color is [font color= "red"]blue[/font]

Finally for now:

Check out the greatest
