There is an add-on that FireFox makes available called 'Write Area' that will allow you to use fancy fonts and colors, etc!  You can download it from here. This is for the newer versions of FireFox, so if you happen to have an old version running you might want to download the newest one!



To use 'Write Area' all you need to do is go into the text box here in the Garden and select  "Check here if HTML tags are in the message" then right click anywhere in the empty text box.  You will be offered some options - - choose "Edit in a Write Area".  That will open a text box into which you can type your message and choose fonts, colors, and many other editing features.  When you are done typing and are ready to post the message simply click on the 'Save' option at the upper left corner.  That will turn your typed text into HTML code and put it in the message box here in the Garden.



If you usually add a graphic in HTML code at the end of your message, you can still do that now.



This message has been created using that add-on option!  I rather like it!  It comes with only six font selections, but you can add more fonts to it if you'd like.



ETA:  BUT, don't come into the post later to edit it without going back into the "HTML" option or you lose all of your HTML coding!!!!!
