How do I change the color and size of fonts in my text boxes?

One of the more powerful capabilities of Modulana is the ability to enter HTML code into all multi-line text boxes. What you were seeing on her site was HTML formatting applied to her text. It's pretty easy to do.

Here's an example:

<font size="18" color="#FF0000">This is 18 point red text</font>

So, the first code within the <>'s is the font formatting code that sets the size to 18pt and the color to red using hex formatting. The </font> at the end signals the end of the formatting allowing the remaining text in the box to go back to normal. You can see hex values for colors in a variety of programs like Photoshop and Illustrator. In Modulana, if you edit site wide settings for color, you'll be able to see hex values there also. Modulana text fields also support italic text (<i>italic text</i>), bold text (<b>bold text</b>), and bolded italic text (<b><i>bolded italic text</i></b>).

Why is it that when I change my fonts, theme or design my site doesn't reflect the changes?

All browsers have something called a cache feature built into them. Essentially, this allows the browsers to keep a version of a site it has visited on your hard-drive so that the next time the browser goes to that site or loads information from that site it can do so quicker by just using the data on your machine rather than re-downloading the information. This was great when everyone was using 28k modems, but nowadays this has become more of a nuisance than a feature.

What you're seeing when your site doesn't reflect your changes is your browser showing you the version of your site it already downloaded. The best way around this is to disable your cache in your browser preferences. If there's a choice to have it always download new information, that's the one you want to choose.

Alternatively, you can just quit your browser and reopen it to make sure it tries to get the most recent version of your site.

How do I add external links to my site?

As noted before, all the multi-line text areas in a modulana site accept some HTML formatting. This can be used to add links to other websites. The syntax looks like this:

<a href="http://www.link_address.com/">this is my link</a>

That does it. Using this in conjunction with the ability to change the color and weight of the text can make links look and work just like regular HTML ones.

Do I have to host my site with Modulana?

The short answer to this is "yes."

The long answer describes the intricacies of how a Modulana site allows users to make all the changes they need and what the plans for the future of the product entails. Essentially, it's just not feasible to host it elsewhere. Luckily, Modulana hosting is only $10/month.
