changing text color You can change the font color and sometimes the weight of some or all of the text in many of the modules. Type a letter, highlight it and change it to what you want. Place your cursor directly after the letter a| and insert the module. Carefully delete the letter. A short cut is to leave the letter highlighted and click on module. The module will replace the letter with the color change. | a <-carefully delete afterwards

Another weather module with bold text. This weather module I changed to 1pt bold, and it looks smaller in the page editor. It does change to bold, but not smaller text size when I view it. |

To place modules in different areas of your pages, you can float them or you can put them in a table if you don't want your text to wrap around them.
be creative with modules and forms
Place them in tables and use color, images and table background images to create a custom look.
