Big Letters On Myspace

Remember, this is XHTML and will work just about anywhere, although I’m not sure about Bebo or Facebook.

The “big” tag makes text bigger:

<big>Big. <big>Bigger. <big>Biggest. </big>Bigger. </big>Big. </big>

Looks like:
Big. Bigger. Biggest. Bigger. Big.

If you want an exact size use a span with a font-size in pixels:

<span style=”font-size:60px;”>Everything in here is 60 pixels high.</span>[/xml]
<p style=”margin-bottom:20px;”>

Looks like:
Everything in here is 60 pixels high.

Think of a “span” like a span of time, for as long as you write inside this span, all the text will take on the style you define. You can add more style after the semicolon. Notice I added “line-height” so the text isn’t bunched up:

<span style=”font-size:60px;font-weight:bold;line-height:60px;color:red;font-family:serif;”>
This is a bold red serif font!</span>

Looks like:
This is a bold red serif font!

Let me know if that helped.
