Gost posting - the hidden movement pun intended
I've decided to try and start a trend here in SoulCast. The using of white text in both posts and resonses. Not all white, such as my 'ghost post confession' post, as that is a little, way too obvious.
Recently I have taken to using white text in portions of my posts, and my comments.
kind of like this.
Not all of them, but a large percentage over the last couple days...
Why? why not?
Because it is fun. pure and simple. If more poeple do it, then it will become something like an easter egg hunt, you never know when someone is going to have thrown in a little wittisism, or personal comment that you might stumble upon.
This of course raises the question to some, if the text is white, how do you see it? its as simple or if you like some poeple i've had the dubious 'pleasure' of working with, as difficult as using your mouse to highlight text as if you were going to cut & paste. or don't want to lose your spot while reading a longer post
So, if only to keep yourself entertained, and to help me to not feel like the only idoit doing it try it a couple times. to find out how to use different colors, look under 'formatting options'

So how do you do it? The format options they provide here don't include how to do colors...

Indiefilm said on Aug 31, 2006....
{color=XXXX} type your text {/color}
Replace the {'s with ['s and fill in the color you want. red, or blue etc. ;)
I hadn't realized it didn't say how to do color, its just like posting a link though, except you say color=white rather than url=htpp etc.

Indiefilm said on Sep 01, 2006....
just a bit of entertainment... pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, or the blank looking place below my posts...
SL: congrats! your first ghost post!
Bordy: Exaserbate is another great word... lots of fun to say, its won of those words that sounds dirty, but isn't. ;) [/color=white]

And so it begins...
BWAAHAAA HAA HAAAA
My nefarious plan to rule the world is going according to plan.....
Bordy: You get used to the coding bit, it can be a bit cumbersome when you get too fancy, but it's still fun.
SL: I'm going to have to go look for it now... see what you've made me do.... ;) perhaps my nefarious plan is backfiring... :p

-
RollingC said on Sep 20, 2006....
now I don't know how to get it to stop when I want....oh ooh
how did that happen...just changed the color on letters outside the box...they were white before...
-
RollingC said on Sep 20, 2006....
and with this I get it to have different colors but getting backnormal is not easy[orange]and the letters outside the box getting them normal again is
weird help
-
RollingC said on Sep 20, 2006....
seems to be normal.....good...back the way I found it....
wheeeeww
-
Indiefilm said on Sep 20, 2006....
make sure to use the when you want to stop. that /color is /color, not /red btw. color... fun isn't it? I use this all the time, well, most of the time on my posts. ;)

Indiefilm said on Sep 20, 2006....
Ok, RollingC. you need to make sure to use the /color in brackets "[]" when you end off a color. otherwise you make all the text at the bottom change color. take a look at the 'comment on ghost posting. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be black. its a great way to sabatoge someones post, but you didn't hear that from me...

The death of a movement... and I didn't even see it coming...
no more white text...
it will be missed,
a memorial service will be held tonight, in my house, several bottles of beer will be in attendance.
