Now we’re going to go over changing the size of your font. The code is simple.
Opening tag is < font size="X"> Instead of X, place a number. Please, on PnP, let’s keep the font size down from between 3-5. Closing tag (placed at the end of what you’re editing) is < /font>. Example: See the text getting bigger?
Now we’ve got size under our belts (no pun intended for the guys, hehehe… moving on.) Let’s add some color! Opening tag is < font color="X"> Instead of X, place the name of a color. I suggest using plain color names, like red, blue, yellow, pink, purple, black, and green, but you can also use other colors. You can also go here, and read up on Hexadecimal Codes vs. Color Names. Annabella’s HTML Help is amazing. This is the site I first used to get the basic codes down.
To change the style of your font, the tag is < font face="X"> Instead of X, put in the name of the font you like. A few examples are:
Times New Roman
Verdana
Comic Sans MS
Arial
Arial Black
To find which font you should use, because most fonts aren’t supported on some computers, go here.
Remember, put the closing tag < /font> at the end of the page. This works for all the codes above. I’m not sure if it’ll work without it, as I haven’t experimented that yet.

How absolutely awesome. I tried this once before, but I didn't quite understand it. Now I do, thanks to your simple directions. It makes so much more sense now. Thanks Sam!!
