Web Style Guide

    • The default font in Blacboard for the Fort Worth ISD website is coded in the CSS stylesheet. Schools should not override the stylesheet.
      Use <p> for paragraphs
      Use <h1> - <H6> for headers
    • Comic Sans or any other font similar should not be used to keep a consistent look. Please allow the template to control the fonts being used.
    • If you copy and paste text, the preferred method is to use the Plain Text icon in the content editor. This method will retain the default font and size.
    • Underlines should not be used; they are reserved for active links.
    • Use graphics such as clip art sparingly.
