Is there something about Stumble blogs you'd like help with - or think others would like to know?
I can't fix bugs, broken toolbars, marriage problems - those you need to take to the Help & Bugs forums!
More superb help facilities here, and here *** Please note that I am not here very often and probably can't answer individual questions, but if I see the same question being asked a lot, I may create a new entry to cover it. ***

What colours can I use in my SU pages?
This article shows you how to colour (or size) your text, but many people have asked which colours you can use. The answer, potentially, is: hundreds! But only some of these will look good on the Profile Theme that you have chosen in your Prefs > Settings.
To colour your text you may use either: Hex Colour Codes, or "named colours" to control the colour of your text. For example, this yellow can be coded as:
<font color=yellow> this yellow</font> or <font color=#FFFF00> this yellow</font>
Some sources advise that 140 (or more) colours can be named, others that certain standards restrict you to only 16. Whatever the rules, SU currently allows you to use more than 16 colours, but in practise, you might do well to pick, and settle on, your own tried and tested colour-set.
Of the standard colours, this is how they are coded and appear on my pages:
aqua <font color="aqua">aqua</font>
black <font color="black">black</font>
blue <font color="blue">blue</font>
fuschia <font color="fuschia">fuschia</font>
gray <font color="gray">gray</font>
green <font color="green">green</font>
maroon <font color="maroon">maroon</font>
navy * <font color="navy">navy</font>
olive <font color="olive">olive</font>
purple <font color="purple">purple</font>
red <font color="red">red</font>
silver <font color="silver">silver</font>
teal <font color="teal">teal</font>
white <font color="white">white</font>
yellow <font color="yellow">yellow</font>
You might like to pick and choose some colours from the bigger lists mentioned above, but don't be surprised if some don't work in SU!
Some things to watch out for:
- Pick a colour(s) that will complement other themes you might choose in future - or perhaps choose a theme and stick with it. If you choose navy text for instance, and then later choose a blue theme, then that text will be nearly invisible. (see here *)
- Some people hate rainbow coloured pages and animated gif's. It is your choice, but consider whether your colourful page will encourage or discourage visitors!
- In HTML-speak, colour is spelled color ;o)
