Hey :)

try this

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <style>
        body{background-color:red};
    </style>
</html>


Ok, that will make your page color red.

But let's imagine that you wanted all the bigger sized titles to be red.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <style>
        h1{background-color:red};      <!-- all the <h1> will be red-->

    </style>
    
    <h1>THIS WILL BE RED</h1>      <!-- THIS will be red-->
    <h2>THIS WON'T BE RED</h2>         <!-- this isn't <h1> so it won't be red-->

</html>



Now what if you want the paragraph to be red?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <style>
        p{background-color:red}; <!-- all the paragraphs <p> will be red-->
    </style>

    <p>hello</p>  <!-- THIS WILL BE RED-->

</html>



oh i forgot to say that this 
 <!--text-->
is how you define a comment in html.


I hope that i helped

You really shouldn't be using the HTML tag, or doctype on a BYOND hub.

A doctype is already declared for the page, and its dumb to have nested HTML tags.

Malformed HTML, in short. Usually a browser's quirks mode will handle it (and I suspect BYOND's hub page renders in quirks mode usually anyway), but it kind of doesn't make sense to include a DTD there, or top level html tags.

Your description sits inside a div:

<a name="desc"></a>
    <div class="box not_small" style="padding:10px">
      <div style="overflow:hidden">


So style wise, you need to work within those bounds.
