Make a Cool Cache Log!
Getting Started
We will make this as easy as possible. Below is an example of a cache Log with examples of text. We'll give you all the tools that you need to make that special Log.The Code that you have to use is called "BB CODE"
Please don't get this confused with HTML it's close, BB Code is used in "Forms" Not Web building.

WE Found IT! Can you beleive it? It only took us 20 minutes to find this one !This is how it is written in BBCode....
NOTE: Every command has to end with a "[/" the command. Take a look at the code above....Other than that it is realy easy.
We will break it down step by step:
- - - the three "[^][^][^]" are calling up the "Approve Smily" I like to rate my Cache Finds this way. 3 is GOOD,
more than 3 GREAT.
- - - Copy and past more Smiles by clicking the Smile Button above your Log.
- - - [size=4] is making the text larger.
- - - [red] changing this text "We Found It!" font color to RED.
- - - [/size] is ending the font size command returning th font size to normal.
- - - [/red] is ending the font color returning it to the defult color.
- - - [i] is setting the next text to ITALIC.
- - - [blue] changing the text color to BLUE- "Can you beleive it? It only took us"
- - - [/i] ending the ITILIC command
- - - [b] changing the text to BOLD
- - - [green] changing the text color to GREEN- 20 minutes
- - - [/green] ending the green text command.
- - - [/b] ending the bold text command
- - - [i] returning the text toITALIC
- - - [blue] also returning the text to the color BLUE-"to find this one"
- - - [/blue] ending the font color blue
