: Hey guys,
:
: I am learning a lot of MOTD/HTML stuff as I go but can't find the spot to go to actually get some kind of guidance on how to make changes. I can manage rosters, add or subtract people off the MOTD, banners ect...but dont know how to space stuff on it, color text ect... Any help is appreciated.

That magic is accomplished with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), which we manage in the CSS text box below where you edit the MOTD. CSS syntax is different from HTML, but you use it to change how an HTML tag looks or where it is placed.

I like to go to http://www.w3schools.com/ when I need a reference or a refresher, and I bought myself a copy of "CSS: The Missing Manual" (I like the missing manual series for almost everything) when I did the Genesis MOTD a couple years ago. If you have any questions, you can email me.

There are also others who may be better at it than myself. :)
