So I seem to have been able to do all that I wanted to know how to do. Now for some comments... I like knowing how to change the font, but I agree, I would use it rarely. What I find myself wishing I could do on a fairly regular basis, is putting something in italics, underlining a book title, putting a word in bold. As for the color, something else I would rarely go to the trouble of using, but again, I would like to know how to for that rare occasion when I might. Such as in a Christmas greetings thread or something like that. Most of the time I would not take the time to do that. As a matter of fact, I use the firefox browser and if you notice when I tried to use the color tags, I thought it didn't work. That is because firefox limits html commands when using their browser and I didn't see any red words. I realized that you did and I went and used Internet Explorer and sure enough, I saw the word red in red ink. Strangely, I didn't see the other effects. That was confusing and I have no idea why. BUT, in the browser that I use every day, the commands I wanted to use work fine with the directions you gave me. So I am all set. The thing I wanted most to do and will probably use more frequently than the others, is posting a photo inside the post. I used to use Tinypic, but at some point something changed and I was pasting the command they were providing and it still wasn't working. So these directions worked for me. I compared the command you were suggesting to the command Tinypic provided and they were different. But I think I would still use the Tinypic site to upload the photo and then just change the command where needed. Finally, on Nan's concern about resizing the photos. I assume that the concern is the time it takes to open a thread for someone on dial up when one of the photos is oversized. So the photo I posted above, is oversized? If that is a problem, I will go back and review the directions for resizing. Hope that helps. :-)

Time to get this moved down since it's been superseded by the final FAQ. How do I use HTML Code to change fonts and insert stuff in posts? There's still a few bugs in the FAQ but they can fester for a while. Claire

I use Outlook Express 6.0 I use Insert/Picture a lot when sending pictures. I know how to put in an address and make it a hotlink. I want to know how to make a hot link and name it like can be done on a HTML page. I can also type in my Email address and it will be a hotlink. I want to know how to make an Email link and name it like can be done on a HTML page. Or make Clickable pictures that lead to another page. Things like that. Thanks.

Hi Dan, Thank you very much for your help. I tried entering the same items again using the wizard. I did it in the order shown. The first thing was, "Page title. (appears in the browser title bar)" I typed in, "Plants & Flowers" here. Next, I entered a heading. I picked size 7, font- brush script, a red color, and centered, and typed in, "Plants & Flowers" The third thing I put in was an image. I browsed for a picture, picked height, width, alignment and centered. Next was paragraph. I picked size, font, color, and centered, and typed in, "Check availability below." Last item entered was table. To keep it simple, I made it just 2 columns, and 2 rows. Starting at top of page, what I wanted was: Heading Image Paragraph Tables What I got, in preview, was, from top: Tables Image Paragraph Heading The code came out like this: (table width="100%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="2") (tr)(!-- Row 1 --) (td)Â (/td) (td)Â (/td) (/tr) (tr)(!-- Row 2 --) (td)Â (/td) (td)Â (/td) (/table)(!-- Created with CoffeeCup HTML Express 5.0 --) (!-- http://www.coffeecup.com --) (HTML) (HEAD) (TITLE)Plants & Flowers.(/TITLE) (BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF" ALINK="#FF0000" VLINK="#990099") (CENTER)(IMG SRC="Blue Hydrangea.jpg" BORDER=0 ALT="" HEIGHT="222" WIDTH="326" ALIGN="ABSMIDDLE")(/CENTER)(P>) (A HREF="")(/A> (CENTER)(FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3")Check availability below.
