back to basics / p

okay hello friends
we'll just start with the basic fancypost for now okay? then work our way from there, sound good?

so, for a basic fancypost the old ff code was this:

now, all we have to do is tweak the code slightly and we're good to go. instead of [ fancypost bgcolor=COLOR; ] we need to type [ fancypost=background:COLOR; ]

a pretty simple change right? there's only one other change needed to make this fancypost work completely which is the border. instead of it being one code, the border is broken up into three parts for a simple border without any curves. these codes are:

now let's put these changes together to create an actual fancypost. to recreate the fancypost from the old coding here is what the code will end up being, i've added in 2 extra feilds for the width and height of the fancypost:

now that we have this basic code we can actually put it to use:

looks good!! for now, I want you guys to make:

• black background
• with a 2px dotted white border
• and a width and height of 200px.
• center this using [ center ] before the fancypost.

the coding is not showing up as a fancypost, and i am following the instructions given.

what do you mean?

& looks good guys but try adding that dotted border!

nevermind, I found the problem. It's border-style: dotted; instead of type.
my mistake
