 * I think I know the answer but I wanted to make sure before I go to areas that
   I have little experience in.
 * I want to change colors of some sentences in specific posts. For example in my
   last post on:
    [http://www.digitalcollege.org/wordpress](http://www.digitalcollege.org/wordpress)
 * I want to change the sentence of “slower computers…
    to another color to highlight
   the difference .
 * Suggestions?
 * Tnx

 * My suggestion is to define a couple of classes in your CSS and then apply them
   via a `<span>`.
 * Example, in your CSS you could do this:
 * `.color-01 {
    color: #f00; }
 * `.color-02 {
    color: #0f0; }
 * Then in your post, wrap the text like this:
 * This is some text that should be `<span class="color-01">`the color RED`</span
   >` and here is some text that should be `<span class="color-02">`the color GREEN`
   </span>`.

 * Just edit the post and change slower computers into
 * `
    <span class="highlight>slower computers</span>
 * Then in your css file put this in
 * `
    .highlight { background-color: #FFFF00;}
 * and change FFFF00 to the colour you want.
 * Edited:
 * Hehe, you beat me to it nuclearmoose, but if you want to change the font color
   use color:……….., if you want highlighting use background-color: …………
