Just for the record...while geoff did provide a means of coloring text, that particular method is quite old, and the methods suggested in the FAQ are preferred. If you're having trouble understanding the info in the FAQ, I heartily recommend you study CSS a bit more closely, since you'll find that it'll make your life a hundred times easier in the future.

You are right it is an outdated method but it was a quick answer, and a method that I don't use myself. I much prefer creating a class and using the code for #ff0000.
