    Hi

    I'm new to HTML and wondered if anyone would mind putting me in the right direction with the following.

    I have a site taichi-inthepark.weebly.com/the-benefits-of-tai-ji-quan.html

    Its for my tai chi teacher.

    I'm going to host it on Weebly for a short time - hence not making the link above clickable.

    How do I edit the anchor text of the link such as these?

    Why Bother With Serious Research?

    Medical Disorders


    I'd just like to know what to put in the html to make fonts change, as well as text size - and any other easy trick I could pick up.

    I looked on W3 Schools but couldn't find a solution.

    Thanks

    It be easiest (and probably best) if you used an external CSS style sheet to alter the appearance of links. Try googling CSS.

    I can customise these links manually and I'd like to know how to do that because I need to use it before it gets uploaded to another host.

    Thanks anyway.

    Well, I wouldn't suggest it as the best way, but if you don't want to learn the right way you can do this:

    
    <a href="yoursitelink.com"><font size="4" color="red">Why Bother With Serious Research?</font></a>
    
    Code (markup):
    Again, what you should do is change the font size and color with CSS, and put your CSS code in an external file.

    Thanks ITCN.

    I'm going to do just as you suggest. It's just that he wants something live for saturday and the audience won't care once the domain changes when I change the hosting and start playing with the css etc.

    I just don't have time this week and I'm going to use that snippet, so thanks.

    No problem, glad to help. It's fine for a quick fix, when you get a chance to play around with the CSS come back and we'd all be happy to help again :)
