Designing your page on Wizzley is made easy with the great features designed into all the modules - It lends itself for writers to present good content and layout for the reader.

There's lots of subtle little things you can do to text in order to make it both interesting to your reader and stand out to highlight exactly what you mean.
So if you want to make your, already good looking Wizzley page, into a great looking Wizzley page, I suggest you try a little bit of HTML coding.

HTML codes must go into a certain area within the Wizzley text module. When you open up the 'Edit' mode within a text module you can type whatever information you want within that module and it will appear on the page.

Borders around text using HTML code

A border around your text looks great and can be any colour you want

Or even a dashed border

<p style="border: 4px dashed grey; padding: 15px; margin: 10px; line-height: 23px; color: #000000; text-align: left;">YOUR TEXT GOES HERE</p>

Understand the HEX Number colours

Using the Hex Number to create a colour is far better then just naming the colour.

With the Hex Number you have an unlimited choice of colours that will go with your Wizzley theme and make your page look even better.

This is how 'HEX Number' change colour - Just alter you code accordingly - 


#FF0000 - This Hex give red      

#00FF00 - This Hex gives green      

#0000FF - This Hex gives blue       

#FFFF00 - This Hex gives yellow       

#CCEEFF - This Hex will give a very light blue

I was here back in January. I now have 30 lenses under my belt so I revisited this. I really like the tips. Good ideas.

Guest on 03/03/2013

Thanks for the reminder. Just sparking up my pages now.

Jerrico_Usher on 02/13/2013

I'd have to brush off my visual basic :) and API mods but I'm willing to learn basic programming again, vb isn't too hard, it's a step up from CSS and html lol... just need a basic set of buttons/options and the effect laid out already with fields to fill in what you want in there, then push a button to generate the html... May even be able to do it with html5 or javascript... skill sets I need to develop anyway...

TonfaGuy on 02/13/2013

That would be good, useful tool.
There's a few html generators out there but nothing that would create the effects like borders etc..
I think its a good idea..
Go for it..

Jerrico_Usher on 02/12/2013

I use this page everyday, it's in my speed dial settings when I need ideas for an effect or formatting... I'm thinking of building a software program to expedite the effects through a program like we did back in the AOL days hacking the software to generate effects, but in this case it would be a push button html creator just enter text or image you want in the effect and it generates the code to insert (or auto inserts it into the module/edit)...

First, thanks for reminding me that I can use HTML to 'spice thigs up' a bit - Wizzley has such great features that one forgets to 'stand out from the crowd'.
Second - thanks for linking to my Viglink page.

Using HTML codes to spice up your Wizzley modules is a great idea. I have often wondered about what the proper HTML coding would be best to use on my wizzley pages to jazz them up a bit. Thanks for this great tutorial, I will most defiantly bookmark, share and give your ideas a go, and brush up on using HTML. Thanks for the heads up :)

Great tutorial! i'm glad I found this. I have yet to publish my first Wizzley article. But at least now I know some ways to improve my presentation.
