Tiptoid -

One day last week when I was online instant messaging (IMing) one of my friends, I noticed that her screen name was written in a different font from the text, and that it was multicolored! I looked at the design of my screen name and thought it looked really dull and boring by comparison. I decided to figure out how to redesign my screen name.

 Here is what I did -

•  I went to settings, which took me to an index of settings.

•  I browsed through the index and found screen name font. I clicked that option.

•  Then a little box appeared with my screen name in it.

•  There were lots of choices offered for font, color, and size.

I picked the font called Curlz MT. I also chose font size eight and a rainbow color scheme. Now I like my screen name a lot, and I bet some of my friends will see it and want to change their design too! Do you?
