You typed {color:#FF0000][/color] at both the beginning and end of what you wanted colored.

Since all you need to type is {color:#FF0000] at the beginning and [/color] at the end, the leading [/color] and trailing{color:#FF0000]show up as extraneous text, like so:

[/color] Well, you live in the city that never sleeps so that can happen. I live where the crickets and frogs start in around bedtime and all the stores and most of the restaurants are closed by 10 p.m. Good thing I'm not a night owl!! [color:#FF0000]

I think you'll see what I mean if you look at this post by hitting "Quote".

(I had to substitute { for [ in several places to get this post straight.)

More later.


{color:#FF0000]Good Morning, Artie!! I just used the color icon in the tool bar. There are no instructions that I could see so I expected it to work with just the color in front. But the color continued on into what you said in the email so I ended what I said with the color icon again. I'll try it your way here.{color/] Well, that didn't work!
