<font color="#FF0000">put your text here</font>

I assume it was a typo, but there should only be one # symbol.

just one hash and alot has been said for just using #ffo

If in the head of your document you can add the following:

<style>
<!--
.redtext
{
color:#FF0000;
}
-->
</style>

And then anywhere on the page where you want to make your text red simply do as follows:

this is text and <span class="redtext">this bit is red</span>.

Now, if you decide you don't like the colour, you only have to change the #FF0000 in the head of your document as opposed to every <font> tag... even better you can even link into a CSS document - then you only need to change the colour once for your whole website. If I was you I'd take the rest of today (and tomorrow) learning CSS. It'll save you much more time in the long run. These should get you started:

[htmlhelp.com...]
[w3schools.com...]

Or just search for 'CSS'.

Short of that, we might be better able to guess at the problem with details like the following:

1) Which editor are you using? That could be part of the problem. With some WYSIWYG editors (it sounds like that's what you're using)it is very easy to end up with numerous nested font tags that are redundant, a pain to sort out, and make mistakes much more likely.

2) What are you using to view your files on your own machine and then on the web? Is it the same browser, or are you using a different, internal browser with the editor?

3) What colors are you trying to display and what method (code) are you using to indicate these colors?

Actually, it would be better if you just copy and pasted the bit of HTML code surrounding the colored text in question.

In general, WebmasterWorld tries to avoid having a lot of site links and site specific questions posted... But if you post a code snippet in the thread, anyone who may have to same problem in the future can read it and find out the answer. :)
