This is our own daily section of Free Republic where homeschoolers can discuss what curriculum we use, vent when needed, share our successes, compare notes, alert each other to things we find on the internet, and vent some more.

G'morning, folks!

[homeschool mama]

Good morning, Tx! Can't stay long this a.m. but SOOO glad you're starting a daily thread. Very special!

Care for some coffee?

[homeschool mama]

How did you change your font? Enquiring minds want to know. :oD

[SpookBrat]

Good morning. Power to the homeschoolers! LOL We're cleaning up the system with our own special brand of cleanser.

chugging mine as I speak (err type)

Looking into starting a chapter, but as I told several other folks, I asked for volunteers before I knew exactly what I (or any other volunteers) would have to be doing (typical thing for me to do)..

..anyway, still looking into that, but I think doing a daily thread will work (*sorta* what I was thinking of anyway when I started the first thread)..and probably less time-consuming than a "chapter"

How did you change your font?

Just a little bit of HTML. If you are not familiar with HTML I can post some basic HTML programming tips here. Probably a good thing to go over every once in a while.

Home School Forum

font size="4" face="comic sans ms">Home School Forum</a </font

Add a < before "font size" and a > to the end of the of </a and </font, cut and paste, and voila!

Home School Forum

font size="6" color="teal" face="comic sans ms">Home School Forum</a </font

Here is how you change colors and size..

Of course you can cheat like I do and get Microsoft FrontPage so it will do the HTML for you!

[TxBec]

I use netscape communicator for the pages I normally do, but my kids want to start making a webpage, so I am going to make them learn all the codes and make it from scratch using notepad before they use any programs.

Hi there!

[Khepera]

Yes I used notpad for years and wrote my own code but I'm too lazy to do it anymore. Unless of course I'm writing a porgram in perl or "M" or some other language to produce web pages.

[TxBec]

heya!
