hey

Adjusting the height/width of the glow will help..

Actually the height/width needs to be in there so it will work.

this is the code im using:
<center>
<span style="width: 150; height: 50; font-size: 37px; font-family: Comic Sans MS; color: black; filter: glow(color=red direction=200)">hey guys</span></center>


this way the "hey guys" is on the same page...but its not as big as i want it...i tried adjusting the height/width...bit it doesnt make the letters bigger...only the space around it...can you telll me how to enlarge the letters???

Change the font-size: ##px, and the height/width.

No problem, it's the width that is causing the line breaks, because the text is bigger than what you set the width as. Like the example coding I just posted, 350 is an Okay width too, just play with the #s and find one you like.

i have another ??? though....if i wanted to combine this:
<center>
<span style="width: 450; height: 100; font-size: 72px; font-family: Comic Sans MS; color: black; filter: glow(color=red direction=200)">welcome to tHe LiNkIn PaRk GuIlD</span></center>

into being a marquee in this:
<font size=7><marquee behavior=scroll direction="left" scrollamount="9"><b>welcome to tHe LiNkIn PaRk GuIlD</b></marquee></font>

how would i do that??

Well with that high of a font size, you'd have to literally make the width a lot bigger than it is...with a 72px size, youd have to do something like

<marquee behavior=scroll direction="left" scrollamount="9"><span style="width: 1190; height: 100; font-size: 72px; font-family: Comic Sans MS; color: black; filter: glow(color=red direction=200)">welcome to tHe LiNkIn PaRk GuIlD</span></marquee>
