transI'd like to remind users of rule 6 from the community info page:
6.) Do not change the size or colour of the text in your post. It makes your post more difficult to read and does not make anyone more likely to read it. Similarly, bold, italic, and underline are used to add emphasis to specific bits of text; do not use any of them on your entire post. This defeats their purpose and has the same effect as changing the size or colour of your text. Posts which violate this rule will be given 24 hours to edit their post, after which time it will be removed.
Recently there seem to have been something of a rash of posts making use of lots of colours, fonts, HTML tables, and so on. There are better places to demonstrate ones mastery of HTML than the friends pages of people who read![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
transgender. Posts that do take on the appearance of "my first DTP project" (with apologies for those too young to remember 7 pin dot matrix printers and who have never experienced such travesties) will be mod noted, given 24 hours to fix the problem, and then deleted, as per the community rules.
Thank you.
