ok, so im very limited/new in my use and knowledge of html, but i with the help of an online html tutorial of sorts managed to piece together some code that would allow me to put up a list of things on myspace. the problem is that when i go to view profile, the list is invisible. the text is there, because i can select(highlight) it, and then i can see it, but if im just looking at the page, it just looks like an empty space. here is the code that i wrote

<font color="white"><ol>
<li>Speaker: Vaden Earle - www.myspace.com/absoluteontheweb</li>
<li>Worship Leader: Dan Macaulay - www.myspace.com/worshipthisday</li>
<li>Other Bands: <ol type="a"><li>Hello Kelly - www.myspace.com/hellokelly</li>
<li>Rides Again - www.myspace.com/ridesagain</li>
<li>Letting Go Of Yesterday - www.myspace.com/lettinggoofyesterday</li></ol>
</font>

you can view the myspace page at www.myspace.com/burn_fest
i dont know what im doing wrong (obviously!), but im sure it is something simple...any/all help will be greatly appreciated!! thanks in advance...

getting past the issues i have with your background and the transparency issues, your problem is simple.
using the font tag will not allow you to modify the color of the entire list, it can be done individually, the non-coder's way, which may just be easier for you:
CODE

<li><font color="white">Speaker: Vaden Earle - www.myspace.com/absoluteontheweb</font></li>

for each item in the list, the tag font really never should be used, but this will work.
there is also the css way, in the <head></head> of your file, there will be a place for <style type="text/css"> under that add:
CODE

li { font-weight:normal;color:white; }

this will have the same effect without all the font tags.
