I’ll have to learn HTML again.

Your fish is my command...

Nully's Quick FR HTML Guide:

Basic formatting:

Line break <br>
Paragraph break <p>
<blockquote>

Indented paragraphs
</blockquote>
<u> underline </u>
<i> italics </i>
<b> bold </b>
<s> strikethrough </s>
<tt> typewriter text </tt>
<font color=red> Red font </font>
<blink> blink </blink> Use blink sparingly. People HATE blink

<font size=1>Smallest FR font</font> Displays as:
Smallest FR font

<font size=7>Largest FR font<font> Displays as:
Largest FR font

Or

Step font size up or down with <big>bigger</big>

and <small>smaller</small>

"Hidden" text: <font color=white> White font </font>
Drag cursor over blank area to highlight to read...

Posting a link:

General:
<a href=[web address]>[title]< /a>
Example:
This: <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1179145/posts">Iran starts atom tests in defiance of EU deal</a>

Posting an image:

General:
<img src="[web server location]">

You can't just snag a favorite picture from a desktop folder...it has to be hosted someplace on line to be posted here.

Best bet is to save the image to an image hosting service, I use Photobucket. In Firefox right click and select "Copy image location", in Safari right click and select "Open image in new tab" and copy the address in the address bar. Other browsers have similar tricks.

Example:
This: <img src="http://www.notablebiographies.com/images/uewb_09_img0611.jpg">

Tip: control the size with "height=nnn" like so:

This: <img height=200 src="http://www.notablebiographies.com/images/uewb_09_img0611.jpg">
