Hi,

When I started designing my website, my main aim was to have a "blog" on my index page -- you know, just a simple scroll down box. Looking around I decided that the best approach for this would be an Iframe, but because I am currently working on Angelfire (in the process of switching servers) I cannot have an Iframe because it would have adds at the top of it...and, consequently, just not "blend in" like I want it to.

Currently I have a...form? It doesn't seem like you should call it a form, but that's what I can only guess it is. Here's my code for it:

<form ACTION=URI><textarea rows="18" cols="75" style="background-color:#FFCCFF; scrollbar-face-color : #CC0099; scrollbar-track-color : #990099; font-family:verdana; font-weight:bold; color:#663399; border-style:dashed; border-color:6600CC;">

Right now this is actually working fine for me, except that it won't allow HTML in the area. Consequently, I cannot have links or anything in my blog space which is, obviously, annoying.

Do you know if I can enable HTML in this form, or if there is a better solution to the problem?

If you want to view what it looks like at the moment, it's on my index page.

Thanks for all your help in advance! :)
