When making codes using your registered chat name there are a few things that are important

1. Its important to remember that the saved chat name is character, Uppper/lower case sensitive and space sensitive. To show under your registered user name use only the exact characters that have been registered as your saved chat name.

How do I know if my name is entered correctly?

Example using the registered chat name ~BOB~ it would appear like so upon SignOn.

(18:58:46 ® Signon)~BOB~

I know I am signed on under my saved registered chat name when the " ® " appears at signon .

2. Do not use # and " in your codes, most browsers will throw you right out of the chatroom when doing it. Why? am not sure

3. Never ever mention Java in your codes.

4. Never use broken avatars, if you notice a picture is broken, remove it.

5. Try not to use too long codes.

When i say codes it means the html string.

Basic HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)

Note that this is not standard HTML to use on webpages, only for the chatrooms like sizzling. The differences is that on webpages it is best you write full html meaning " and # besides you need <html> ect tags on a webpage, which you do not use in codes.

Making a html code.

When preparing your html code you may want to consider the text size, image, text color, font face, and font type.

Html code for chatrooms is build up on several things

  • Image
  • Text size
  • Text color
  • Font face
  • Font type (italic, bold ect.)


What the different codes mean.

  • <center> - code used to center text or a picture in a chat room.

  • <br> - means break and takes you to next line.

  • <font size=3> - This represents the font size.The font size 3 is the standard size used most often. To change the size to another size then size 3 you simply change the number. I usually suggest to go no higher than 4.


  • <font color=FFFFFF> - This represents the font color. Here is a good Color Picker Chart so you can select a font color thats right for you.


  • <b> - This is used to make the font bold. To end bold simply put </b> at the end of the word you want the bold to end at.


  • <i> - This code is used to make the font italics. To end italics simply put </i> at the end of the word you want the italic to end at.
