2. The actual code being used is called CSS.

That stands for Cascading Style Sheets - an evolution in web programming to make formatting things more flexible and independent of the content. Here is the code EarlG is using:

[div class="excerpt" style="margin-right:3px; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em; box-shadow:-1px -1px 3px #bfbfbf inset;"][div style="padding: 20px; background-color: #f6f6f6; border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: 0px 2px 4px 1px #aaa;"][div style="font-family: arial, helvetica; color: #e60000; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999; padding-bottom: 10px;"]HEADING HERE[/div][br]Body text here[/div]
You can copy that and just replace the two text sections (HEADING HERE and Body text here) with whatever content you are using. There are lots of possibilities to tailor the presentation of text here using inline CSS - usually if you can describe what you want to do, someone will come along to try and help you figure out what code to use.
