Fix Up Your Cache Page Without Knowing HTML

Would you like to spruce up your cache page with different fonts, different colours or even add an image or two?  All of this is possible, but you would need to know some HTML code.  But if you don't know HTML, there is still a simple (and free!) way to do this. Thanks to Starkiller_ for giving me the heads up on this tip!

If you don't know HTML, you can spruce up your cache page with a WYSIWYG ('what-you-see-is-what-you-get') HTML editor.  There are a number of WYSIWYG editors, some that are free, that do the job quite well. Most of these are stand-alone programs.  However, Xinha Here! is a Firefox add-on that will open up a WYSIWYG editor right from your Firefox browser.  (Yes, I am assuming you all have Firefox.  If you don't, you should--it is just that good.  Get it here now!)

You can make complicated HTML code like this...
...right from your Firefox browser using Xinha Here!

Good article swimmrguy (I assume it's you, there's no author byline, but I recognize your earthcache). I've been experimenting a bit on my own trying to enhance the cache page but have had only limited success. Now I can revamp all my pages. Thanks.

Thanks for the note, hypocorism. Yes, it was me who wrote this; fixed up the byline so anyone can fire any questions at me.

Let me know how it works out...
