 Its really important to keep everything as attractive as possible while
 writing posts. Text Area boxes are a useful method of showing long 
bunch of text or code on your blog. Just last month I wrote two posts 25 Vertical Navigation Menus and 30 Horizontal Navigation Menus
 where I have used a lot of coding and all those coding were displayed 
inside fully customized text areas that made the post looked clean and 
neat. Text boxes are good only if there length and height is well 
controlled and today with this tutorial we will learn several ways of 
styling our default text areas.</div>

How to Customize The CSS of The Text Box? </div>
<br />
<span class="fullpost"></span><br />
If you wish to change the font, color or in 
short the entire look of the text box then you just need to edit the 
following areas in the CSS code above,<br />
    <strong>background: #fff; –> This Changes background color of the text area</strong>       <br /><span style="color: green;"><strong>width:400px; –> This changes width size of box</strong></span><span style="color: green;"><strong>          <br />height:40px;  -> This changes box height</strong></span>       <br /><span style="color: blue;"><strong>color:#666;</strong></span>  -> This changes font color inside text box       <br /><span style="color: purple;"><strong>font:12px arial;</strong></span> –> This changes font size and font family respectively       <br /><span style="color: #0080c0;"><strong>border:1px dotted #289728;</strong></span>
 } –> This changes the border size, style (i.e dotted, solid, dashed)
 and color. Editing it will change the look of the border/outline across
 the text <br />
    .hb-textarea:hover {      <br /><strong>color:#289728; –> This changes font color on mouse hover</strong>       <br /><span style="color: #0080ff;"><strong>border:2px solid #666;  -> This changes border size, style and color on mouse hover</strong></span><br />
    <span style="color: #2c2725;">Now
 Simply edit the above codes as guided and create a perfectly suiting 
Text box for your beloved blogs. I hope it will be as interesting for 
most of you as it seems :> Do not hesitate to ask for any help if 
needed!</span><br />
