 * Hi All,
 * just a quick question regarding formatting the submit button for Email Petition.
   I’d like to keep the “none” theme, except I’d like to be able to use a few HTML
   tags to format my submit button to draw more attention to it. I’m new to wordpress,
   so apologies for the simplistic question.
 * Thanks!
 * Nick

 * What is it you are trying to achieve? How would you use HTML to format a button
   like that?
 * Are you sure you don’t mean you want to use CSS?

 * Yes, I meant to say CSS. What I’m trying to do is keep the style of “no theme”,
   but style the submit button for the petition so it attracts more attention, i.
   e. a <button> styled with CSS.

 * You don’t say if you are new to CSS so I’ll assume you aren’t.
 * If you add your styles to the “additional CSS” section of the dashboard and name
   your elements properly it will style the petition button.
