The shout out boards here on gURL give you LOTS of opportunities to express yourself with HTML.

Your signature, which shows up as a closing remark after every post you make on the boards, can include text, images and links. Check out the gURL guide to signatures for more help on that.

You can also use HTML in your posts to emphasize what you're saying with bold, italicized and rainbow colored text and images.

To use HTML on gURL, begin by typing it out in your text document. When you've checked it over, copy and past the text into the text field on gURL where you will be using it in your siggy or on a post. That's it! You don't need to save your text document because it was just a practice space.
