Creating text |
One of the basic elements of Web pages is text. Good old words ... for providing information, selling products, or whatever you want to do. In AOLpress, you just type text into a page. It's just as easy as using a word processor. (You can also bring text into your page from other files by choosing FileImport or by copying and pasting with EditCopy and EditPaste.) If you haven't already done it, you might want to make this window wider so you'll have plenty of room to read the instructions and edit the page. Feel free to play with the examples; you don't need to follow the instructions exactly. (You can use EditUndo to remove your latest changes, or you can click the toolbar button to reload the saved version of the page.)
Then, just click on the format
you want to learn about in the picture below. |

You can change the title of a page by editing the words in the Title
field.

ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one
less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Restraint is good when using type styles. Don't use too many, or your text will look like a mishmash. Avoid the "ransom note" effect. |
Try making the numbers in this example different sizes.

Try it here: |

Try picking colors for the text in this example.
|
Try it here: |
Red, fuchsia, yellow, lime, green,
olive, aqua, teal, blue, navy, purple, maroon, black, gray, silver, and
white.

Since colors can be harder to see than regular text (depending on the
color of your page's background), you might
also want to make colored text bold or larger.
