Geocities Help

[shortstuffO3]

This is a question for all you people out there who have a Geocities Website and are good at putting special effects on it. I have the free version just to let you know. Well I am having a hard time making my pages look neat. With the free version you only have a few fonts to choose from. I would like to be able to have some more fonts. Could anyone tell me how to do this. And make sure if it is a code or something you tell me where to put it and step me through it so that I can understand it. Thanks!

With all websites it is best to stick to a few common font - Arial, Times Roman, Verdana etc. because if the viewer doesn't have the font you wrote in, it doesnt display - it just shows their default font.

Presuming your site has a fixed width.... If you wish to display a fancy font for all to see you type it out in wordpad or some other program, take a screenshot, and crop down to the piece that you want. If your website has a coloured background make sure that you first put the same colour background in your word program before typing.
With Microsoft Word you can also save your typing as a html file, but to copy the piece you want from that can be hair-raising.

A very useful tool for matching colours is the free spectroscope at
