I'll be happy to take questions but I'm still not good at HTML, there are other Freepers who are quite good at it.

Nice try. However, in HTML, BOLD is <b>
bold</b>
(not <bold>
bold</bold>
).

A tip: Highlight what you want to know about (what html was used to do it) then right click on it and click on “view selection source.” You’ll see exactly how it was done - meaning the html code.

Also worth knowing
is if you see an effect
that you really like,
you can do view SOURCE
in your browser, look through it,
and COPY the code!

Now I know why some of my links didn’t work, I was putting them in quotes like an image insert.....DOH!

When I came to Free Republic I had never used HTML When I began FReeping, people used the convention of italics when quoting another FReeper's post. Whatever happened to that?

And if you forget to turn all of your html off you may get it repeated on the next post.

When I began FReeping, people used the convention of italics when quoting another FReeper's post. Whatever happened to that? I still do it. When I first began FReeping, if someone didn't close a tag in their HTML it would affect all of the posts in the thread following it.

When I first began FReeping, if someone didn't close a tag in their HTML it would affect all of the posts in the thread following it.Apparently they fixed that (or your post would also be in bold and font size = +3).

That would be nice if that could be the standard. The “double greater than” looks cluttered and for somebody learning HTML is sometimes confusing.
Spellcheck is great - since I switched to Firefox and get spell check everywhere, not just on Freep, more people think I’m literate.

And that is so TEDIOUS to do...
she MUST have had some kind of template that she was using.
To: 69ConvertibleFirebird
Apparently they fixed that (or your post would also be in bold and font size = +3). Yes, they did. Ya almost had to learn HTML in self defense, to close tags on other people's posts. A post here or there with large bold fonts isn't a problem, but a whole thread of large bold blinking posts would make your eyes go batty.
