Use either a font tag with the color attribute or a style attribute

Code:

<font style="color:blue;">This is text</font>

In your block code.

Please forgive my ignorance.. I have looked in my blocks file... either I am missing it all together or I am in the wrong spot looking...

It's plain HTML tags that you surround your text with. Find the text in your block file that you want to change the color for and use the font tag as I stated above.

Ok, I didn't realize the sites admin area where you can admin blocks could accept html... Thanks... One more question where or how can I add a small logo beside the block titles in my site?

You could simply put the image html in the block title in BlocksAdmin

Code:

<img src=logo.gif>Site Info

I've tried using image tags but the block will only hold so many characters and adding a pic takes more than I am allowed... can I change how many characters are allowed in the block? Is there another way to add a small pic?

I think you can get 60 chars in there, are your titles really that long? The image html could only take up 15 chars at the least, leaving you a hefty 45 for your title.

Did you want the same image in all blocks? Or a different image for each block?

What theme are you using?

If you are using a theme that has a file blocks.html , you could edit it, but this would place the same image in all the blocks.

Find : something like this in blocks.html

Code:

<font class="block-title"><strong>$title</strong></font></td>

Then before $tilte put your image tag

Code:

<img src="themes/yourtheme/images/yourimage.gif"/>&nbsp;

When finished sould look something like this

Code:

<font class="block-title"><img src="themes/yourtheme/images/yourimage.gif"/>&nbsp;<strong>$title</strong></font></td>

I was coming to that Laughing

But I think he might want a different image for each block.

No the same image is fine... that has helped but on the blocks which I have a a colored font it added an extra "layer" for the pic... and on the ones I have left default font it put the pic on the same line... is there a way I can have my cake and eat it too?...lol... I would like to maintain the pic and colored font all in the same "layer"... I have left it as is as you can see on the Donations block on the bottom left it has the default colored font and the others I edited... Thanks for all the help thus far, I am close to getting what I would like... here is the link to site...> www.ps2onlineleagues.com
