Hi, hoping someone can help me with this. I would really like to use
Enviro for the font on my website header, but I know it's not standard
and other machines may not be able to see it. Could someone please let
me know how I could acutally put in that Enviro is my first choice,
but if it's not on the computer, it can default to the others. Right
now it reads:

<p align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="7"
face="Verdana"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times,
serif">Lynn
Herrick Photography</font></strong></font></p>
<p align="center"><font size="4" face="Georgia, Times New Roman,
Times, serif"><em><strong>Child,
Adult & Family Portraits</strong></em></font></p>

If this isn't possible (or would look vile) would I need to do the
font as a graphic (i.e. in photoshop) and how could I be sure that fit
onto the multitudes of screens I hope will be viewing my site? Thanks
for any and all help! Lynn www.herrick-photo.co.uk

MY EYES, MY EYES! X-(

Suffice it to say, just add Enviro at the beginning of the list of fonts
in the second font tag. Like so:

face="Enviro, Georgia, Times...

And next on the to-do list is learn how CSS could've done all the
formatting for you using only two HTML elements:

In stylesheet...

h1 {
text-align:center;
color:#ffffff;
background-color:inherit;
font-family:Enviro, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}
h2 {
text-align:center;
font-style:italic;
}

In HTML document...

<h1>Lynn Herrick Photography</h1>
<h2>Child, Adult & Family Portraits</h2>

Thanks so much for your help. I think I've done it. I am in week 2 of
my web design course, so hopefully my HTML will be less scary soon!
