  Hey guys,
  does anyone know if you can use a html code on the sidebar to change the color of the text? Like the < strong > for bold and all that. If it’s even possible…. just let me know when you can.
  Thank you

  I’ve been wondering the same. I sometimes write a post on e-mail in colour, then C&P to my site…

  < FONT FACE=”verdana” SIZE=”6″ COLOR=”green” >Little Green Men < /font >

  Cross-browser friendly fonts: Arial, Arial Black, Comic Sans, Courier New, Georgia, Times New Roman, Trebuchet, Webdings.
  Cross-browser friendly colors: aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow. (Want more colors? Use a HEX code.)

  i got this from the friendster html tips. heh.

  take not however certain themes strip size and font tags in their sidebar like regulus. so if it doesn’t work you know why.

  oh, don’t forget to close the spaces between the < and > when using in the sidebar or else it won’t work.

  Changing fonts: Some themes as sulz mentions will be hardcoded to over-ride what you put in and some won’t. It’s a trial and error situation as far as knowing how any individual theme will behave.
