Simple Ways to Dress Up a Lens
Using Coloured Boxes
<p style="border:solid 10px #33CCFF;padding:10px"></p>
Just copy and paste this code into your lens. You can change the colours by inserting a new color code.
This box is a great addition to spruce up text. I love to use it when I want to give an extra emphasis on a paragraph of text. It just makes it stand out a little more. You can change the colour of the box very simple by using a Html colour chart and switching the colour code to the one that you want to use.
Here is a great colour chart: Complete HTML True Colour Chart

Some Basic Tags - HTML For Beginners
These are basic tags that are some of the more utilized ones.
The tags are for bold, strong and italics. There are lots of other ones that are used often as well. You may want to use these somewhere in a paragrah to give emphasis to a single word or words. See Basic Html for Squidoo in my featured lenses just below this box, great examples there!
<b>your text goes here</b>
<strong>your text goes here</strong>
<i>your text goes here</i>
