This is how to do a nice little font! You can change your font to all sorts of nice thingsbut keep in mind that if there is a space in the name of the font you'll have to add "these" around the name of the font!
<font face=fontname>w9rds w9rds w9rds</font>

tt is also a legitimate tag for the "courier" font, but for whatever reason DW makes the fontsize slight smaller than a normal. I'll just note it anyway, though I dont reccommend it.
<tt>tiny courier oh my</tt>

Now if I wanted to add colours I'd have to remember not to spell color like a canadian because the designers of the internet are racist against U. here are just SOME colours you can pick from
<font color=colornameORhexcode>this is words</font>

Unfortunately "font size=" doesn't work on DW, so instead you have to use overlapping "big" tags, but even then, THAT MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH. This is with three bigs! Heres with two! This is one! And this is a normal font size!! I'll show you how to do even BIGGER words in a second, because unfortunately there's a limit to how many bigs you can use!
<big>one big tag</b> <big><big>two big tags</big><big>

Small you should already know, but it's important. smalls can be overlayed too! making your words suuuuuper tiny. heeheee can you read me from here 0u0
<small>text</small>

PHEW
That's a super big font!!!!! You can have any size font with this, so just change the ## in the code below to suit your tastes. The example font is 100px!
<span style="font-size: ##px">PHEW!!</span>

PHEW AGAIN
That's another way to write big fonts, but it uses "pt" instead of "px". "Pt" is more like what you would use in Microsoft Word to determin font sizes, while PX is how many pixels high it is! That example is 74pt.
<span style="font-size: ##pt">PHEW AGAIN</span>

You can also combine the color code and the face code into one html, like this!
<font color=red face=candara>You can also combine the color code and the face code into one html, like this!</font>




Linking images. If you use a DW icon, it also automatically works like a normal icon across the site. Try hovering over that one and you get info for Jenna's karkat account!!
<img src=IMAGEURL>

Or I could link you the icon elsewhere which would open up the image in its own page. You can use the same for any URL you want to direct someone to. DON'T do this with plurk emotes, though. It does weird shit.
<a href=URLHERE>text text</a>

bread bread
There's actually two ways to link to a DW account! But they look the exact same.
<lj user=USERNAME>

<user name=USERNAME>

breadmantic
You can try this with a number of other websites, such as IJ, LJ, or Tumblr. Just add the right username for the right site and bam!
<user name=USERNAME site=FULLMAINWEBSITEURL>


I can't give you an example of an LJ cut here, but this is an example! There are a few ways you can handle this one.
Only says "(Read more)"
<lj-cut> all the bullshit you want to say in you post but want to hide from the main viewing area for whatever reason </lj-cut>

With customized words
<lj-cut text="CUSTOMIZEDWORDS"> blahblahblahblah </lj-cut>

Now im going to attempt to write a big long thing here to give you an example of what a block quote is. more or less there are just space on each side of this teal deer that make things look a liiiitttle nicer, cleaner, or otherwise. There's also an enter above and below it by default.

<blockquote>text</blockquote> And, if you're really interested how i did all those square things.... <textarea><textarea>here we have a bunch of words </textarea>




If you guys are every curious for OTHER html tricks, let me know! I can figure out *most* stuff if you show me an example.
