I've seen a lot of "Click Here"s listed on the workshop, but no links next to them. Why is that?

I need the most basic information, like how to get it into the Ebay description properly. The very first steps are often left out of any instructions I have found on doing templates. Thanks for your help!!!

Oops. My HTML example took effect.

Let me try again:

font face="Zapfino,Zapf Chancery,script"

Also, on my ME page, I tried to use background color. Looked great in HTML editor, did not appear properly on eBay.

Do I need to use a table for it so show up?

Sorry about previous post being in script (at least on my browser).

Make sure on the sell your item page when you start with the sell tab that you have the the Enter your own html tab selected on the4 page you enter the title of the item. This is the second page of preparing the listing.

Note, if the enter your own html is not a hyperlink, then it is good to go!
