Here are a few things you can do in the “Header” section of your guestbook settings. These will change the appearance of the top part of your guestbook page. This is what I did to create the look of the Test Guestbook. 

<font size="3" color="000066"><b>Welcome to The Test Guestbook!</font> <p>
<font size="2">I hope that you enjoy the site! <p></b></font>

Here is just a small explanation of what that is in case you don’t know how to do html.

<font> is a code that tells the web page we are changing the text in a certain way.  Within that tag (a tag is what is between the < and >), there are different options you can use. You can change the size and the color of the font like in the example above.  You can take a look at the color chart below for some color codes.  Just make sure you keep the options within their little quotation marks. Also make sure that when you want to stop the font effect, you type this: </font>. For example, typing: <font size=”2” color=”00066”> This is dark blue size 2 font</font> would look like this on the website: This is dark blue size 2 font

<b> bolds the text that it typed between the opening bold tag <b> and the closing bold tag </b>. For instance if I wanted to make bold this text: “I am bold”.  I would type this:
<b>I am bold.</b> and it would look like this on the web page: I am bold.

<p> puts a line between the last sentence and the next one (starts a new paragraph). For instance, Doing this:
My first sentence is here. <p> My second sentence is here.

Would do this:
My first sentence is here.

My second sentence is here.

<br> only puts a line break between sentences or paragraphs. There will not be an empty line between them.  It will only place the next sentence on the next line.  For instance typing this:
My first sentence is here. <br> My second sentence is here.
Would look like this on a website:
My first sentence is here.
My second sentence is here.

<i> italicizes text when you place the text between <i> and </i>  For instance, typing <i>this is italicized</i> would result in this: this is italicized

<a href="http://www.christianguestbook.org">Linking Text</a>
The above text creates a text link. If typed into your html code, it would create a link so that when you click the text called "Linking Text", it would take you to christianguestbook.org.

It should be able to get you on your way to html!  :)

Here are the color codes I promised you. The colors behind the codes are the approximate color you should see when you use it for fonts or backgrounds. Have fun!
