    1. What are the basic HTML codes I can use for my Multiply page?

    Here's a rundown of all the basic HTML Codes you can use for regular posting in Multiply:


  • Putting a Link


  • If you want a link like this you must enclose the text that you want to turn into a link with the following HTML code or Tags:
    link like this
    (NOTE: the code target="_blank" allows for the link to be opened in another browser window)



  • BOLD Text


  • If you want Bold-faced text, enclose the text you want to be bold-faced in the following HTML Tags or Code just like this (either code will work fine):
    Bold-faced or Bold-faced
    (NOTE: Making small text bold-faced will usually not show, so most of the time, no need to bold-face small text)

  • Italicized Text


  • If you want Italicized text, enclose the text you want to become Italicized in the following HTML Tags or Code just like this (either code will work fine):
    Italicized or Italicized
    (NOTE: Italics is leaning text, in case you didn't notice.... duh!)



  • Font Sizes


  • If you want to change the size of your text, enclose the text you want to enlarge or reduce in the following HTML Tags or Code just like this:
    to change the size of your text
    The smaller the number, the smaller the font, "1" being the smallest font and "7" being the biggest. Try it out so you can see the differences!



  • Font Color


  • If you want to change the color of your text, enclose the text you want to color in the following HTML Tags or Code just like this:
    Change Color
    You can specify the color you want by typing in the actual name of the color. Acceptable variables are "Red" "blue" "yellow" "green" "white" "black" among others. You can also use the Hex Value of the color itself if you want something more specific. The code will look something like this:
