She was much missed, I have too many things in my brain to learn how to write in purple, and i nearly spilled my morning tea laughing at that crab picture.

I know the dancing girl you are referring to Krabo, it is supposed to tell you which side of your brain is dominant. I can get it to switch directions sometimes, but not at will.

It's very English to drink tea first thing in the morning. Don't you ever drink coffee in the mornings?

Do Kiwis in general drink tea or coffee more?

You must enter the color tags manually. Suppose you want to write in red. Start with {color=red} but replace the curly brackets with normal [...] type brackets. Write your text. End the red effect by the closing tag {/color}. Why did I use these {...} brackets above? Simply because if I had employed the [...] brackets, my instructions would have appeared red and the subject matter would have been lost. Got the idea? You can, of course, hit the Quote button and browse this post to see how this part of the sentence is colored blue.

All obvious color names work. Red, brown, blue, green, purple, pink... you name it.

Hi enviro!

Tea is more English, and a large proportion of the NZ population has English ancestry, so I guess it just carried over. I used to drink coffee, but I went off it drastically. Now the taste of it makes me quite nauseous. I still like the smell of really good coffee, but I can't drink it. So tea it is - I've got to have something to get me moving in the mornings.

Dear Krabo - thank you, but I can't even read that today. Yesterday I finally gave into temptation and relearned the Cyrillic alphabet. Until that is a little more firmly fixed again, I swear there is no more room left in my brain for new stuff.

Oh, ok.

I'm trying to resist new languages until my Italian is more fluent, and my Finnish is more Finnish, but the problem with being on a language learning site is that everyone tempts you with interesting new languages all the time.

I see one guy quite a lot who writes in Hungarian, which looks interesting. I have been trying to resist Russian for quite some time, but as Oscar Wilde said "I can resist everything except temptation".

Oscar Wilde was in a class of his own.

do you know the Greek alphabet Mooms?

also nice avatar enviro

No Kip, I haven't learnt the Greek alphabet. I recognise a couple of the characters, but that is all.

web-safe color hex codes work too. you can find a list here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp

for example, entering {color=#993333}text{/color} (with regular brackets of course) gives you this.

I want a to write using letters/alphabet like the titles on 'American Horror Story'.

But I do not want a house full or WP site full of ghosts.

IKR! I never thought I'd meet so many people interested in foreign languages in one place. Not bad for a bunch of English speakers (more or less). I hope you have better luck resisting new languages than I did. I'm an Oscar Wilde fan, too.

Yes, I know. However, I prefer the color names. Here's an excellent Wikipedia article of those names.

Nope. I've already done the first five units on the Basic Russian memrise course.

I'll probably leave it there for now though. I've been pleased with my Italian and Finnish recently, and I don't want to neglect them.

Hard to beat Oscar Wilde.

You should research Mr. Wilde's tombstone.

Hmmm, I bet this will be interesting ...

*checks it out on Google*

Wow ...
