How do I get the size of my quote smaller? My gosh, it is way too big for the posts.

Help??? I looked under FAQ and nothing.

You have to use regular HTML here to do that, but it is easy.

The tag is < font > and you add a "size" attribute so it looks like this:

< font size=1 >put the text here and then close it with the closing tag < /font >

(Leave out the spaces, except for the space between "font" and "size", that stays.)

There are lots of ways to specify size, point size, pixels, etc. but an easy way is to just use a number and browser recognize that.

<hr>

< font size=1 >Makes text this size< /font > <font size=1>Makes text this size</font>

< font size=2 >Makes text this size< /font > <font size=2>Makes text this size</font>

< font size=3 >Makes text this size< /font > <font size=3>Makes text this size</font>

< font size=4 >Makes text this size< /font > <font size=4>Makes text this size</font>

< font size=5 >Makes text this size< /font > <font size=5>Makes text this size</font>

<hr>

You can also use the < font > tag to add <font color=red>COLOR</font> to text or to change the <font face="Comic Sans MS">typeface</font>

You know what... I think HTML won't work as part of a "signature" on this forum. I had forgotten but I think I tried making a horizontal rule using < hr > like this

<hr>

and it works in a message but didn't work in my signature (so I added the string of dashes instead).

Sorry for the mislead. I suppose only forum markup tags work in signatures and we don't have a markup for font size like we do for color.

Don't have any other suggestions. Maybe you can put in manual line breaks so it comes up as a "block" instead of one long line?

The key to realizing a dream is to focus
not on success but significance -
and then even the small steps and little victories
along your path will take on greater meaning.

I just didn't want anyone to be upset by the hugeness (I like that word.......lol) of the lettering.

Thanks anyway, Dave.

Well if they get upset then let them eat cake. Besides, size isn't everything (or so I hear). Size of lettering.

Great, now I made myself hungry for cake. Size of lettering

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
